How to clean up thumbnail in Blackberry, help my Blackberry is Full

For Blackberry users, have you ever wondered why the not-too-smartphone take a storage beyond what visible in your pictures,videos and documents folders? That's because Blackberry do a thumbnail cache to do a fast preview on your pictures and videos, in the pictures and videos folder. A beyond belief flaw is, the system hardly can do reversed in deleting unwanted thumbnail, after the real pictures physically remove by you. This can give a frustration as the thumbnail cache continued to grow in size and finally you start to wonder who the culprit that eaten up your storage.

The thumbnail actually stored in a folder:
Media Card > Blackberry > System > Media

the last two folders are in hidden mode. So in File Manager application ,right click (click the BB button) and click Show Hidden. In the Media folder, just simply deleted whatever end in .dat , for example thumbs116x116.dat , thumbs480x480.dat , and their .key companions.

Blackberry has no real impact when deleting this, but to return it to normal, I recommend a hard reboot, mean pulled out your battery, and then put it back. After this, go to Pictures and let the smarty rebuilt its thumbnail. Voila... your storage just been cleared, and you saved yourself from formatting it.

notes:

If you put the SD card into computer , the files will not able to delete since it is Write Protected.

Pernah mengalami kepenuhan kapasitas di Blackberry? Sudah menghapus banyak photo dan videos tapi tetap saja Blackberry melaporkan kapasitas di BB kita melebihi file yang terlihat oleh kita? Ini karena di Blackberry ada "thumbnail" yang berfungsi mempercepat preview photo-photo kita. Untuk menghapus thumbnail ini masuk ke:

Media Card > Blackberry > System > Media

tapi dua folder terakhir bersifat hidden alias tersembunyi. Di dalam File Manager , tekan tombol BB dan click Show Hidden (atau lihat tersembunyi kira-kira bahasa Indonesianya). Kemudian dalam folder Media, hapus file thumbs116x116.dat , thumbs480x480.dat. Setelah menghapus, cabut baterai dan lakukan boot ulang. Kemudian masuk ke Pictures dan biarkan si BB membangun ulang thumbnail tersebut. Semoga bisa membantu membebaskan memory di BB anda tanpa perlu memformat ulang.
