Tips: Freeing and conserving storage space
Try to maintain at least 400 KB of available application storage on your BlackBerry® device. If you find that your device processes are unusually
slow, try freeing storage space by deleting files that you don't need. Changing options for email messages, calendar entries, and media files
might help you conserve storage space.
