I bought a Visor Prism, plugged in my eyemodule 2 and discovered that I lost a lot of memory storage for? (I had a Visor Deluxe before, where I didn�t discovered this effect)

I deleted all pictures, then I looked up the free memory with the "delete function". I discovered that there are several eyemodule files, which I don�t understand what they are doing, and especially, why they are so BIG!! (As I said, I deleted all images on my Prism):

eyemod2 78k
eyemoduleDB 301k
eyemoduleNoteDB 1k
eyemoduleVGADB 1205k !!!


What are these files? Why is the last one so big even without any images stored? How can I get rid of the 1205k???

thx!

eyemoduleDB, eyemoduleNoteDB, and eyemoduleVGADB are the files created by the eyemod2 application to store your image data and notes... I know you said you deleted all of your images, but it looks like the PDB files are still there for some reason... I've never had this a problem with the eyemodule 1 on my Prism, but maybe somebody else has had a similar experience.

Anyway, you can safely delete the files eyemoduleDB, eyemoduleNoteDB, and eyemoduleVGADB with a program like 'filez', and you'll free up that memory... if you keep having that problem(pictures deleted but still taking up space) you might want to e-mail Ideo and see if they have any insights!

Actually, eyemodule2 databases are all named burke*DB, so those databases must be from the original eyemodule. Did you delete the pictures from that eyemodule app as well?

You also may have those databases left over with no eyemodule app if you deleted the app with filemover or beambox. Just delete them and you'll be ok.

Good call on the eyemod* files, compared to the burke* files. I have an EM2, and just deleted all my pics. All 4 burke* files went down to 1K...

aschuch, by any chance did you plug an EM1 into your visor at some time and take a few pics? Thanks would explain it.
