Question about
I was trying to delete the music off my phone because it said I didnt have the space.
Everytime I went to the music section and deleted it it would force close and not delete it. Then I went into the application place and hit clear all in the media section. Well now my pictures and all my music are not on the phone, but it still says I have the same amount of space. So then I went and hit unmount SD card and then format and it said it would delete everything but still the same amount of space is available. It says I have 7.4GB on the SD card and internal phone storage is 99.97mb . Also my background picture is there, even though all the pictures are missing. My question is.. what did I do? And how do i delete this stuff off my phone to get more space? (Also I just updated my phone today and it is slightly different than when I bought it.)
If you had your phone connected to your computer - especially a Mac - and deleted your files from there using the Finder, the Mac puts the deleted files into a hidden trash folder on the SD Card, which I think you were not seeing any space recovery. You would have needed to empty the trash on the Mac in order to clear the space permanently. (I believe that the same is true of Windows and the Recycle Bin.)
Now that you formatted the SD card, all of that stuff is definitely gone. As for the 99.7 MB free internal phone storage, that sounds about right. In addition to the SD card, the phone has a small amount of internal storage where, for example, all of your Android applications that you install from the market are installed.

There has been some issues with the update they rolled out this last week, I knew of the Facebook issue where it causes havoc with syncing. Have you tried pulling the SD card and reformating it on a computer, then putting it back in?
