Default opera eats up device storage space

i downloaded opera to my q a couple of days ago. every since, the device storage memory has been disapearing at a rate of 2mb a day. can some explain what is taken so much memory? how can i delete these files? thanks

i can only guess that you are surfing alot...like IE im sure you need to get rid of the temp files...
since i do not run opera perhaps some can instruct you on that

but i know after a while running IE on the Q you have to clear out the temp files or you will run out of memory

why not install your programs to your storage card also. i only have a 512 card and i also store some mp3's on it plus ringtones and never worry about device space.

unfortunately you cant just move them over. you would have to uninstall the programs and reinstall them. when installing them they will give you an option of where to install, either the "device" or "storage card". just change it from device to storage and continue with the install. when done it may give you a msg stateing that there could be a problem, dont worry about it, it should work fine. then you just hit the start button and run the programs same as before. it will still put system files on the device but most of the program will b stored on the card.
