My N8 "phone memory C drive" is FULL.
Applications are freezing, crashing, the phone is self restarting.

I see memory phone of 256 MB full with USB connected to PC.
When I look inside the folders, nothing in some, no large file in others.

1. Why the phone memory is full?
I did not install apps on the C drive aka phone memory, I did not put photos, videos or anything there, I don't use email.

2. Why I cannot find the files that occupy the memory?
No large file can be seen.

3. Is this the cause of phone auto restarting and the cause some applications are crashing, closing in front of my eyes or in the background?

Why when I receive a simple call and I have only a game open after the call ends the game is already crashed / closed?

How many emails do you have on the phone and have you tried clearing the cache on your web browser ?

*rotfl* It looks like the Nokias bleeding edge Smartphone still suffers from the same old problems as the old S60 cr*p did.

Maybe they are just hidden so you can not see them via USB.

On my S60 3rd device, I could easily fill up the C: drive by just uploading some pictures using the WebDAV client (called "Remote Drives" on my Nokia). They are put into a hidden cache on C:, and not removed after this. I queried Nokia about this, but did not get any sensible reply.

So the reason for your problem might just be a bug in a builtin application that is already known for a long time.

In my case described above, the files were hidden. I was ony able to remove them using a 3rd party file manager (x-plore) after I configured it to show hidden files. And even in this case, I first had to browse through the filesystem to find these files. And I did not see which application created them, because the directory names were non-descriptive. I only saw that these where the photos I uploaded using WebDAV.

Could be. I expect Symbian to behave like cr*p in such error conditions.

Now there still seems to be a lot of stuff on my C: drive which I can't even see in x-plore. It says 44 MB are used, but finds only files with a total size of 9 MB. The builtin file manager also states that 44 MB are used on the C: drive.

I think that Nokia should stop selling such expensive cr*p which breaks faster than you can think of. They should focus on creating nice hardware and use Android or some other sane operating system. Nokia can't do software, they should just stop trying further. It's harmful.
