After you install applications to a
compatible memory card, installation files
(.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory.
The files may use large amounts of
memory and prevent you from storing
other files. To maintain sufficient
memory, use Nokia Ovi Suite to back up
installation files to a compatible PC, then
use the file manager to remove the
installation files from the device memory.
If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging
inbox.
