Nokia 5230 phone memory issue

Even after I clear all privacy from my web settings I still have low phone memory! Everything I download is saved 2 my memory card but no matter wot my phone memory status says:

Memory in use - 77mb
Free memory - 5192kb
Calendar - 5kb
Contacts - 36kb
Messages - 0
Images - 0
Sound files - 0
Video clips - 0
Documents - 31kb
MIDP apps - 0
SIS apps - 28mb
Other files - 49mb

What are those "Other files" & can they be deleted? As well as SIS apps, are the apps that can be uninstalled that wont affect my nokia's performance?

Can someone please help me with my problem?

Is Mail being pushed to your device?

 

Although it would be a pain necessitating backup of essential data first, you could always reset device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user).

If I've helped in any way, a click upon the white star at bottom right of screen would always be appreciated.


However if my answer also solves your problem clickingbelow it will benefit other users!

Sorry no if had not been backed up either to memory card upon device or via Nokia Suite, which is why I used bold type in earlier post.
