SK[;8307298']I need to access the private (hidden) folder on the phones memory to remove some stupid themes that are stuck there. Currently I cannot find any software that will allow me to browse to this area of the phone. Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this before I just wipe the phone to factory defaults?
 
connect your n80 to your phone in USB MASS STORAGE mode (very important). Open up the folder for your phone on your pc and set the folder options to :show hidden files: The folder its in says private and within those folders you will find the themes folder. It's usually got a stranger header for each them but if you hover your mouse over it, it will tell you something more specific so you know what your deleting.
 
Bad news is it's not possible at the moment to browse the hidden folders on the phone, no file explorer available can get into these folders. I think I'm right in saying that such an app would have to be symbian signed to get access in there.
 
I know it does not help you at this point but on the N73 you can not delete themes from the phone, only memory card so from now on any themes you put on the phone you should save to the memory card then delete as you see fit. Do not put anymore themes on the phone memory itself.

SK[;8309570']Yeah sorta figured that out now. In regards to the info about software needing to be signed in order to allow access to these private folders I believe you are very much correct. Seems a factory reset seems to be my only answer.
