You Silly! :P

Just go to Zune device settings (on top of the zune client, of course, you need to have your phone connected), and then go to the "Reserved space" link from the list on the left side. Then reduce it to whatever percentage of your phone's memory you want. Basically, reserved space is a certain percentage of the storage on your phone that is put aside for app installs, pdfs, docs, etc. So when you fill up your phone with pictures, music, and videos, you would have some space for ... other things.

There is no reseting required whatsoever.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergioiacobucci:
I dont have that many apps.....and I have done what you said already (reduced to 1%) and still I have this huge amount of space taken up...its just annoying!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabnie[Ger]:
I completely understand the problem of sergoiacobucci.

On my HD7 (16GB) there is also 1.36GB reserved space for "content of other computers", even though I reduced the reserved space in the settings to 0%.

If I play around a little with the percenteges the reserved space goes down from everything I have left on my device to 1.5GB at 1% and 1.36GB at 0%.

Meaning I also can't get it any lower.

Of course your problem is 4 times more annoing than 8% gone on a 16GB device, but I'd still like to know whatfore this space is used/how to use it for myself.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdotgarcia:
He stated in the OP that he's already lowered this to 1%.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
OP have you ever synced with more than one computers?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
Pretty sure the reserved space includes space taken up by anything outside of media. I just downloaded a game and my reserved space went from 1.22 GB to 1.32 GB. I wouldn't worry about it too much, it sounds like you just have a lot of non-media data on your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
I don't know about the reserved space thing but as for Zune Pass. You can remove devices from your 4 devices in the settings. So adding a new device wont take up your 4, just remove the old one from the list

Settings > Account > Computers and Devices
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
are you suggesting this might be causing the issue? i'm syncing with 2 pc's and my available space has gone from 3.02GB to 2.12GB with only a few apps installed and 1GB of music. i'm not concerned about the "shrinking space" now, but would like to know how it's used/allocated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergioiacobucci:
Hi everyone and thanks for the replies.

I have only ever connected it to one computer.....i just un-installed about 3 games and it has reduced the reserved space from 2.77GB to 2GB...so maybe the games take up alot more space than I realised...

Bit of a worry though to be honest, as more and more good apps/games come out I am going to quickly run out of space!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
it depends on the games tbh. most games are small, but the big ones which we all like take up quite a bit (e.g. need for speed and guitar hero).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepinJesus:
It says on the marketplace page how much space each application/game takes up. It's down near the bottom where it says "released dd/mm/yyyy, version x.x.x.x, xxMB".

For example, "The Sims 3" is 113MB, "Guitar Hero 5" is 201MB, and "Monopoly" is 24MB. So, there's a good range of sizes.

I can't find this info in the Zune software, though, so I think it's only in the marketplace on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
yeah, I've got a lot of games on my phone and even though I have it set at 5% (I think the standard setting), it is reserved at about 4gb of stuff. But I have about 20-30 games (about 12 xbox live titles), like harvest, need for speed, etc.

I don't worry about it. I don't put a ton of music on my phone since I have zune pass.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwill:
I know exactly what you mean and here's an article explaining it as well as how to somewhat resolve it. http://zuneinsider.com/archive/2009...content-from-other-computers-if-any-quot.aspx

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Chiller:
okay. so far so good. but i experience some problem about this reserved space: i am not able to change it. i can move the bar so i get different percentages but it does not take any effect.

this is frustrating because im not able to put anything new to my device...

any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
I'd suggest wiping the system like I'm going to. I have 2.67GB of reserved space that I can't get rid of, and I followed the instructions from that link. Wiping it might do the trick.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikWithNoC:
I'm having this problem as well. What is the point of having a reserved space?! Why can't the space just fill up like usual and let me delete stuff when it gets completely full? There is no reason for a reserved space (in my mind) that can't be removed without starting all over.

My reserved space has filled up to 2.5gb and says I have 0.0 free space on the zune software. When I go check my phone however, it says I have 565mb free. So this means I can't sync anymore music even though my phone says it has 1/2 gb free?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
Thanks for the link!

I always had this problem whenever I sync with my mac after syncing with zune on windows 7. However I did figure out a work around. I use the "I choose" sync method and simply drag all my playlists to the hd7 icon. Whenever I the reserve space issue occurs, I simply re-drag back the playlists and the sync groups are essentially recreated without having to resync the music.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
I think you guys are getting a bit confused. The 2 gigs or so of space reserved for the "other content" I believe contains all your apps, their data, games etc. and also the operating system itself. There is nothing you can do to lower this amount without removing apps or games.

The percentage reserved as free space in Zune is simply an amount of phone memory that you want Zune to NOT USE. That amount will be kept by for the phone to use for further apps, caching etc. If you reduce this to 0%, then fill up the phone with media via Zune, then there's a chance that the OS will run out of room when it tries to do anything, or when you try to download an app or game. This reserved space is IN ADDITION to the 2 gigs used by the OS, games and apps.

Not only that, if you don't reserve enough space, you may not be able to update your phone's OS and restore all your media afterwards.

So only reduce the reserved space percentage to zero if you really really won't be adding anything at all to the phone or if you're NOT going to fill it up with Zune media.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloverlief:
The reserved space is your mail, maps cache, and browser cache, etc.

To test it and see. Go to Maps | Settings (to get to settings click the ... at the bottom). If you use maps a lot then that will shrink.

If you have done a ton of browsing then delete that cache and it will go down even more.

Most of it seems to be mail cache, Take one of your mail accounts if like me you have more than 1. Remove the mail account and you will watch that space shrink a ton.

So it seems to mostly be cache and general app used space.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummiesteven:
I can confirm this works, Mine was at 4gb, deleted map and browser cache and it's now down to 2.4gb
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cervtel:
You can lower it but if the space is already being used it will not free up the space, you are use to these words by now using Windows reset/reformat/recycle hehe, or take out the temps.

The Email was the problem i use Logitech camera at home and i have 5GB reserved space after deleted all email it was 1.9 GB
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
I'm similarly confused with this.

I have dropped the reserved space of my 8gb Omnia to 1%.

I have around 1gb of music and a similar amount in pictures and videos. Zune however shows me as having 2.1gb of reserved space on my device.

I went through today and added up the installed space of all the apps i have installed and this came out at around 300mb. I have deleted my browser history, search history and map cache.

I even deleted my hotmail account and re-added it to clear all the emails and it still remains this high.

I think there is a genuine problem with the space management on WP7 as others have said. i literally don't have anything on my phone that could be taking up that much space.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martinspire:
I'm also experiencing the problem right now. I'm guessing there's an application on the marketplace leaking data, but its not that fast and i have a lot of apps (which i've customised the settings from) which i don't want to uninstall just to see what is causing this issue. I might be able to find some stuff if i could use some kind of file explorer but i don't seem to be able to find it
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_says:
I'm also having this problem:

I've got a 16gb Optimus7. I have 1.21 gb for video, 420mb of pictures... apperently 0mb of music (according to zune... which is strange because there IS music on it)

and a whopping 10.89gb reserved. I don't have many apps and I don't browse a lot.

wtf?

why is music set as 0gb and reserved space so huge???
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elastep:
Anybody got the solution? I've cleared all possible caches and accounts, and nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avatar28:
WTF, that is weird. What happens if you try deleting your music off it? Maybe the Zune software just isn't seeing the space used by your music as music for some reason.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashTek95:
I guess this could be possible.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scouseseamus:
Ok, I have a similar sort of problem with this and think I know what the cause of it is.

I have an 8gb 7 trophy, videos is approx 831mb, pictures 140mb and music at 640mb.

My reserved space is 2.60gb with free space of 2.45gb.

I know that approx 1.5gb of the reserved space is taken up by a video I converted to High Definition MP4 and put it on the phone.

I know this video cannot be included in videos as it is double the amount I have.

The only problem is that neither Zune nor the phone is showing this video at all for me to remove it from the phone.

Could it be possible others have this same issue?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
You all do realize the operating system itself takes up space also. So if you have 16gb, only 12 is available. that is before the reserved space
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_says:
I deleted my music and my reserved space dropped from about 11.5gb to just under 4gb.

I uninstalled a bunch of games and apps i dont use and it got down to 3.5

cleared my map history and down to 3.37

3.4gb is quite a lot of mysterious used data, considering I only have about 10 games and 20 apps... but its better than it was.

thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesofly:
Ok something is definitely seriously broken here.

I've dropped the reserved space to 0%. Removed all my sync groups and synced my phone.

My phone now shows that the reserved space is taking 6.8 gigs (my entire phone) with 0 available space.

I've been desperately scanning the forums for a solution BESIDES formatting my phone (-_-). very frustrating.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesofly:
OK so the quick fix is as follows:

1) Open your phone on zune

2) Click the "View Sync Options" button

3) Under sync options click "Erase All Content"

this will only remove your synced data, ie. not your contacts, apps, and or settings. Once that's finished you'll see the free space as it should be and you can resync all the music/videos/pictures you originally had.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitbrat:
It's all in the words......

OK folks, time to give Microsoft an English lesson.

The Reserved space for other content, etc.etc.etc. is space the PHONE is reserving to hold operating system data, caches, email (data from other computers), apps, and so on.

It is NOT photos, video, and music (except for the cryptic statement about items you have not synched with Zune yet) Those, as Zune tells us, reside in their own areas.

Now Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom (!), then gave you this marvellous slider gadget that lets you "reserve" space for your own content. Notice the similar word, that is confusing us. This setting DOES refer to the space used for media, among other things. If you set this lower, you just reduce the amount of "free space" the phone is reserving for your use, letting the phone's operating system take all the rest.

Important: "reserved space for other content" and "reserved space" set on the slider in Zune ARE NOT THE SAME, they are actually close to the opposite of each other.

it is important to note that WP7 is a socially integrated operating system. As far as Twitter and LinkedIn are concerned this means almost nothing, since the data for them takes up very little space.... but Facebook is another matter. Facebook is a VERY data intensive environment. Think about all the pictures and graphics people share on your wall every day, that really adds up and is probably using a lot of the "reserved space". As previously mentioned, email is another problem. While the email item is considered current (based on you account settings, anything from 7 days or so to a month), if it contains a graphic signature, or attachments that you have opened, or a webpage (like an ad), ALL that data is stored in the email cache. It all takes up space.

Hope this helps.

Your phone is not bricked.

You need to go to HTC's website for your country and download the ROM - you will need to use your phone's serial number to get the download. If you are allowed to download the ROM, then that ROM will work on your phone. If you get an 'invalid' message, then you need to try another ROM (as your phone may be branded to the telecom company).

If you are going to use the SD card method of flashing the ROM, then make sure that the SD is less than 8GB.

[myTouch 4G General] tweak89:
I think you are confusing the memory used for storage (1gb available internally) with the memory used for running apps (768mb).

You have 768mb of system memory (for running apps). 1gb of internal memory for apps/storage along with 8gb on the removable SD card.
[myTouch 4G General] HyperNode:
What are you talking about man?

RAM = random access memory.

ROM = Read only memory.

Ram is what used to allocate the programs/app that is already installed on ROM, so it can run on the phone. In simple ROM is where you install it and to run the program when you load it then its allocated in RAM, I hope it make sense to you.
