contains the mbm file of operator logos

2. C:\private\100059c9\start.dat

3. C:\private\10202be9\20001079.txt
this location.. in this text file there is code, and a line which says :

6. There are some huge file in phone, c:/private/102072c4/reserved.bin, 4.5 Mb size of plain 0xff.

Deleted it and free up phone memory check if your phone has one. The files are for FOTA (firmware over the air) coz when remove it, and go to the device mgr. app it reappears, so its safe to remove it, we wont need it as we never get any FOTA updates.

Your access points are stored in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\cccccc00.cre. Just make a copy of cccccc00.cre, and restore it to your phone (or send it to another phone), restart your phone, and you have your access point settings back just the way they were when you made the backup.

Bluetooth
Your bluetooth name is in C:\Private\10202be9\persists\10204dac.cre, your paired devices are in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_100069CC_btregistry

Bookmarks
The bookmarks of Symbian's built-in web browser are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101FD685_BrowserBookmarks. db.

Calendar
Calendar entries are stored in C:\Private\10003a5b\Calendar.

Cookies
The cookies of Symbian's built-in web browser are in C:\Private\101f8530\cookies.dat. Restart your phone after restoring or transfering the cookies file. If you've told your browser to delete your cookies, there is no cookies.dat file in C:\Private\101f8530.

Messages
Your SMSs and mails from Symbian's built-in messaging application are stored in C:\Private\1000484b. If you've told your phone to store messages on your memory card, they are in E:\Private\1000484b. Copy the entire folder, and restore when needed.

Notes
The notes you write in Symbian's Notes application are stored in C:\Private\100012a5\DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat.
If you can't delete or replace the file, it's because Symbian is using it. But there's a workaround for this problem: go to settings, data manager, memory, and select "back up phone memory" from the options menu. While your phone is making the backup, you can delete or replace the DBS_101F8878_Notepad.dat file.
