just bought lumia 620..didnt get memory card in retail package..so right now i just have phone's internal memory to store data..now the problem is..after connecting device to the PC, whenever i transfer files from PC to device, m able to see them in explorer of desktop os..but when i send .xap files from my android phone over bluetooth, m neither be able to install them in lumia nor able to see them in explorer when i connect it to PC..in simple words, where unrecognizable files (transferred over bluetooth) get stored in wp?? or how to see ALL contents of internal memory of wp?? i just want to remove those files transferred over bluetooth to clear the space and which are not seen in mass storage mode
hope you understand what i wanted to say..
You need SD card to side load applications.
Phone memory is not all seen by the system because part of it is occupied by windows phone OS root files, which protect themselves against other explorers.
Ya.. But how do I clear those files? Unnecessarily taking space.. seems internal memory connects in MTP mode n not in mass storage mode.. :X
You should be able to delete the files from the built-in file explorer from the phone.

Inside the Internal Storage, it should have two directory, MUSIC and CONTENT. Could someone upload it?
Are you having a problem with your internal storage folder?

Jreach, I'm having the same problem as you. I had access to my internal storage and lost it within 20 minutes of receiving the device. I can't reformat using Clean Storage (mass storage cannot be accessed) nor can I see the internal storage using memory, storage card (no card installed message). All of this happened PRIOR to connecting my phone to the pc.
When I use active sync (and Windows Media Player to sync music), I cannot see the internal storage. Windows Media Player doesn't see it either. When I use file explorer or whatever the other option is, I see a removeable drive on my PC. I cannot reformat it. If I double click on it on my xp machine I get an error message saying the "F:\ is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
Given that, I suspect we will not be able to fix this and must return our Diamonds to Sprint. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks.
description: During file transfer from my PC to my Diamond the process was stuck, then sot reset i have looked on my diamond and couldn't find Internal Storage via file explorer.
via memory manager there is a message of " Internal Storage: not installed".
i dont have backup of Internal storage and i don't want to format it. how i can safe my Diamond?
thx
Internal Storage disappears when you connect USB
Hi
When you connect USB, you get two options - Disk Drive and Active Sync. If you connect as Disk Drive, the PC takes over and it cannot be seen inside the explorer of Diamond. Better connect with Active Sync for transferring data.
this works try it. google htc diamond internal storage hot fix.
I also have the problem that the internals storage can not be found anymore. I tried everything including double hard reset,... - internal storage could not be formated because it was not found or "not installed". I can connect my Diamond to the PC via ActiveSync but not as a storage device (harddisc).
Cant`t install the sprint hotfix on my german Diamond either (wrong device message).
There is a chance that your internal storage is infected by some virus. The virus for windows desktop versions might not affect Windows mobile, certain times, it could block you from accessing your internal storage.
I had this issue with my Symbian phone (nokia N91), where i got infected by an autorun.inf file, and symbian was unable to access data from the builtin harddrive.
I had this problem last night. Here's how I fixed it:
Connect the phone via USB, and select Disk Drive.
Go into Windows Explorer and wait for the drive to show up. Don't try opening it!
Just right click the drive and wait... When I did this, this step took 10 minutes!
When the menu finally loads up, click Format.
You should be able to leave the defaults that come up. But here's the settings to the best of my memory.
Format: Fat 32, Allocation: 4032 (or something like that), check Quick Format then click Format. And wait some more...

Hi All,
how can i move things from program memory to storage memory?
Thanks, Lior.
Do you mean just transfering files from phone memory to your storage card or moving progams?
yes, just transfering files from phone memory to your storage card and also moving progams
For the regular file transfer just sync your phone to your computer. Click the explore icon in the upper right corner on the activesync. Click the my windows mobile device. Then open the file that has your backup files copy them to the storage card folder, and delete them off the device. That is how I do it some one might know an easier way.
As for Programs I had to reinstall and have them instal to the card.
Hope this helps.
My problem is not the storage free space on my phone. the problem is that when i open some software after a soft reset i got a message that saying "you don't have enough memory to run this application" i need to release 15mb and i don't know how to do this, i've tried few software but it still a problem now i have 8mb free.
please help me!
Thanks, Lior.
I searched the forums but could'nt find a similar problem. My SD card is read by my phone. But when i connect it to the computer through USB storage, only a few folders are seen(lost.dir, buildprop.tmp, .profig.os) along with any new folders that i create. But while browsing the card through a file explorer on my phone i can see all the files and folders. Anyone know what's wrong??
Try to put it in a card reader and see what happends.
Hey
I bought a sd card from eBay and had countless errors and trouble with it, I bought a new sd and had no issue what so ever. So try a new sd card or even formatt the memory card
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
See if you can back the contents up to the pc then run disk check or format.
Formatting at the moment is not an option. I have a lot of data on it that needs to be backed up like photos, videos, music etc. Unfortunately i cant backup the contents onto the PC since they cant be seen! Guess i have to upload everything onto dropbox and then format it. And with my current upload speed its going to take days . Unless there's someother way of doing it
Try doing a backup using a card reader for your pc.
Even with a card Reader only the "New" folders that i create can be seen. But on the phone All the folders can be seen.
Have you tried to connect it with Linux based OS or only with Windows?
Try this also. Currently there's a troyan round the globe. When it activates it hides all the folders on external media devices connected to PC, and creates .exe files with names of hidden folders. When you connect your storage to a PC with good antivirus it deletes .exe files but leaves folders on storage in hidden state. Try to configure your Windows Explorer or Total Commander to show hidden files and folders and maybe you'll be lucky.
Only with Windows XP and 7 based systems as im at a cousin's place. Found this problem when he wanted some songs from my card. I did scan the SD card using AVG. During the scan i noticed that the current files being scanned included those that i couldn't see using windows/commander file explorer. Hope that helps
Edit: A little messing around and i got it!! Folder Options > Hidden Files and Folders > Unchecked "Hide Protected Operating System Files"
Thank you for all your help
Hello friends.
I have a Lumia 730 Dual Sim.
I wanted to know how to recover deleted photos of his internal memory. I tried to use some recovery programs, plus they do not detect the Lumia partition, making useless most of these programs.
Someone could help me by suggesting a program that recognizes the partition of internal memory and I can recover the deleted photos?
Thanks,
I know how to recover deleted image
Yes, you'll be able to, if the photographs were saved on the memory card then stop mistreatment the phone now and take away the memory card and insert it on the laptop.
Then transfer a free utility called Recuva and do a recovery for the memory card and once you scan using the utility it ought to show you the files that would be recovered.
If you deleted from phone memory then connect the phone to your laptop as a memory card and follow the higher than a step.
Note: when you scan and if shows you the files that you just will recover save them on your desktop alternatively if you save them on the memory card then recovery can be hampered.
Thank, mobile pundits
But the problem is that is not the external memory, but the device's internal memory. I wanted to know how to recover the internal memory, it is possible? If so, how?
Hugs.
Trying for 5 days now with no luck

So yes, I have been trying to get windows phone to assign a drive letter to my computer. I have looked through countless posts including the subst command, registry hacks, and reverting to backup files. I lost my files when I did an update on my Lumia 635 phone. I called tech support No help. The most promising was a ytube video for reverting the phone using the backup function, but if you didn't have that turned on then your outta luck. I'm still looking for someone to know how to edit the phones registry since it is a MTP and not USB Mass Storage. We need to turn the phone into a USB Mass Storage. I have come to the conclusion it is not possible. But Nokia can walk you through some things try : 1888-665-4228 you may not have screwed up as bad as me.
