how to remove old phones?

[daisychick]

Long time user of MPE. I just bought a galaxy s24 ultra and I want to get rid of some of the old phones that I've used. right click menu doesn't offer a delete option but it's taking up a lot of space. How do I remove them?

For me I deleted the old phones data folders in the MPEs data folder.

You'll find it here:

Code: Alles auswählen

c:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\MyPhoneExplorer\

Your <YourUserName> will be different probably.

In there are folders for each phone.

Close MPE first.

Just make sure you do not delete the phone folder you want to keep.

When I was doing it I moved the unwanted folders to a temporary folder first just to make sure I didn't delete the one I wanted to keep.

Start MPE and take a look. If you are successful you can delete the folders in the temporary folder.

I don't know if this is the correct way of doing it but it worked perfectly with no side effects for me.

Hope that helps.

P.S. One suggestion is to look in the old phone's data folders at the Cache\sdcard folder just in case there are some old photos or docs etc that you might want to keep before you delete them all.

In order to be able to delete users via the context menu (right mouse button), this must be activated!
