I tried moving the My Documents Folder from MY DEVICE to MY STORAGE using the MOVE TO command of RESCO File Explorer. Although everything was moved, some apps still defaults to the MY DOCUMENTS folder on MY DEVICE. I went into each app that had options to change default folder. Even if you delete the MY DOCUMENTS folder on MY DEVICE, it will automatically reappear as WINMO other apps use it.

The steps provided by Wizard above is a good alternative to force some apps to redirect to MY STORAGE.

This is a great help! I saved more than 20% of storage memory!

wow... just have to say that i jsut used ClearTemp to clear some space. I just got my omnia a few days ago and was already getting low memory issues. only apps i've installed was Evernote and google maps. Couldn't find files to clear. I was down to less than a meg of storage space, now i have 37.4. I see all the post for helping after using the phone for a little bit but is there anything else i'm missing as to why it filled so fast, or is this normal from the get go?

ClearTemp can only clear some, not all.

I was down to less than a meg of storage space, now i have 37.4.> so left 1mb or 37.4mb?

If left 30+mb, its normal.
