Tips: Freeing and conserving storage space
Try to maintain at least 400 KB of available application storage on your BlackBerry® device. If you find that your device
processes are unusually slow, try freeing storage space by deleting files that you don't need. Changing options for email
messages, calendar entries, and media files might help you conserve storage space.
For full instructions, click the links under Related information at the bottom.

Device > Storage.

On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Files icon. Find and
highlight a file. Press the
key > Delete.
Delete browsing history and clear the cache

key > Options. Go to the Clear Browsing Data section.

messages and calendar entries
