Save 5-10 MB of Internal Memory by Moving Dump Files to SD Card

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Praky G

You can copy all dump files from internal memory to SD Card, because dump files can consume large amount of internal memory.
The method doesn’t delete the files in any way. Dump files are not important files. They are logs or error reports for debugging.

Note: This method applies to Samsung phones only.

Instructions:

Dial *#9900#
Select “Copy to SD”

Note: Only Select the “Copy to SD”. Be careful.

Depending on from how much time you have been using your phone & how many apps you have installed/reinstalled, your cleared memory may vary from 5-10 MB.
So how much space were you able to save? Let others know in comments below.

Thanks. This worked perfectly. Just reboot the phone after completing the operation. It also clears up problems with rejected text messages.

I just saved around 12MB doing this, and it only took ten seconds. Thanks mate, although it’s a shame we even need to do this at all. Sort it out, Samsung…

Worked Like a charm on my Samsung Galaxy 551! Saved 7MB! But I have a question: If I do this often I’ll save MB every time? Or is this just a one time thing?

  The log/dump files need to accumulate for that to work. So the longer them time (next time) the better it will work.

        Hi I am having the same problem – with the same message as anikakalia. Tried her solution of switching off the phone and on again – but I get the same message. Mine is “gingerbread.dxkt5”. Please help. Thanks in advance.

  Shouldn’t be a big deal since log files are not important. You can’t see change in mem every time you do this.

    No, I mean different thing. I’m on ginger official updated. Phone isn’t rooted and I’ve read in internet that if you download app from market it saves downloaded apk in internal memory and you can’t delete it if you aren’t rooted. My phone isn’t rooted and I seek the way out to delete these files.
    
    Thanks for response

      If you uninstall app that means it is not present in internal mem anymore.

        So, there stays only installed app’s apk.
        Thanks for info.

after moved to sd card can i delete the files or what sence

  you can delete the files if you want. But since your sd card has a lot of memory, how can ~10 mb hurt?

Kim on December 10, 2011 at 2:26 PM said:

Does this work as a one-time function when it’s run, or does it mean that these files are put on the SC Card as they are generated in future?

  You can figure that out yourself. Try the command some time later & see if there is any change in internal memory.
