S60 Resource Cleanup for S60

S60ResourceCleanup is a Python script to clean-up drives from unneeded application resource and help files on Series 60 platform. It is developed/tested on my Nokia N95-1 (S60 3rdEd FP1) but should work on most S60 3rd devices.

Several Symbian applications (especially Nokia's) install resource and help files for quite many languages even though you never going to use them. This script lets you select the languages that you want to keep and deletes the resource and help files of all the other languages. The deleted files have the extensions .r[dd] and.h[dd] where dd is the language code and they are deleted from C:\Resource and/or E:\Resource and their sub-directories.

As a result a lot of free space (several MB depending on your apps) can be freed from the disk drives. The script can take a backup of the removed files, on memory card (E:\ResourceBackup). You can also restore the files from the backup. Or you can transfer them in your pc and free space from the memory card.

Use it wisely, backup is recommended at least the first time. Note that several applications use only English (UK) (code 01) resources, so it is strongly recommended to keep that language.

Requirements:
- An S60 phone with patches to disable capabilities.
- Python for S60 installed on the phone.
- Python script shell installed on the phone.
