S60 Resource Cleanup

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 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.

Usage of this application;

  • Download rescleanup.py and copy it to c:\python (or e:\python).
  • Disable capabilities on the phone (please don’t ask me how, there are many sources for that).
  • Open Python shell and from menu select "Run script" and select the script.
  • Follow the menu to perform cleanup/restore.
  • Enable capabilities on the phone, as some apps require it to function properly.
