01-15-2010 08:27 AMThanks for the reply. I'm anal about keeping everything in order, and couldn't see wasting that space if it wasn't needed.

01-15-2010 09:38 AMGood question Bob...
So, if I understand this right, I can delete the Swype apk (for instance) and it's folder from the SD directory, now that Sywpe is installed? -

01-15-2010 09:44 AMyes..anything you install is put into the /data/app folder on the phones memory
you can create a backup folder on your sd card just too be safe incase you need then again later on or move them onto your cpu somewhere. -

01-15-2010 10:09 AMDo you guys keep install files on your computer after you install a program you downloaded? This is the same thing. Once its installed you dont need to apk file.
