Using the "Filer" app on this Orange phone I can see 4 folders/directories
containing bits as follows:-
Android
	Data
		com.cooliris.media
		com.google.android.appsm
			cache  6 files
			debug   no files

LOST.DIR   seems to be empty

Documents  Some sample files & the files I put in

z7logs     9 log files   eg  270.log.2.Lck 95.9kb 03/02/2012

Does this mean anything to you. I presume I'm just looking at the stuff on
the SD card. (or has the filer not differentiated?).

I suppose, if I run out of space I could save all the stuff on the SD to my
computer, put in an SD card of greater capacity, format it in the phone &
then transfer my files back.

Yep. I think I might try File Expert as recommended by Rick.

I tried to look for that in Settings but can't even find a way to stop the
mail downloading automatically when I switch the phone on. That's the orange
mail app. When the free trial runs out I shall just use one of my gmail
accounts to access via the web.
