Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Which Files Use The Most Memory?
To see information about total memory usage:
select the Memory command from the Information menu.
6.10.1 Which Files Use The Most Memory?
Certain types of files use more memory than others.
Sound files can become very large, so you should take care to delete unwanted
Record and Voice note files so that they do not use up space on the Internal disk.
When recording a sound, the netpad will allow you to continue recording until the
'Time available' runs out. Even if the Time available is zero, the Record program
will always leave approximately 100 kilobytes of free memory.
If you find that the amount of free memory is suddenly reduced, it is a good idea to
check the size of any Record files.
Agenda files can also become very large. You should tidy your Agenda periodically
in order to remove entries; see the Agenda User Guide document for more details.
What will happen when the memory is full?
When the memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogues when running pro-
grams to indicate that the netpad's memory is almost full, and there is not enough
memory to perform some tasks.
Many of the things you do need just a little free memory in order to work—display-
ing dialogues, menus, etc. These can fail with a message like 'Memory full'. Don't
worry though, the netpad will not allow you to use all of the available memory; it
will always set aside enough memory for you to close a program or save an open file
to a multimedia card.
