Uninstalling Themes on S60 3rd Edition
There comes a time when removing a theme isn't quite as easy as it should be. Sometimes you can find it in the App Manager and just install it. But other occassions are a bit more tricky than simple.
I thought I had posted this tip courtesy of female mobilist, Rita Khoury, but I guess I didn't. So thanks to Rita, here are the instructions for removing that tricky theme.

1. Connect your phone to the pc using the data cable

2. Select "Data Transfer" mode (for other phone models, it's the option where the mobile is like a usb)

3. Make sure your pc has SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS on (if you don't know how to, choose Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders)

4. On the computer go to My Computer > Removable Disk (the memory card) > Private (it's a hidden folder) > 10207114 > Import

5. Now you'll have a number of folders with barbarian names, like "dc60815d47351ce2" and others. Each folder corresponds to one theme.

6. Open each folder and you'll see in the contents 4 files: a settings file, a .mbm file, a .mif file and a .skn file. The 4 files have in their title the theme name. For instance, in my dc60815d47351ce2 folder, i have the following Pink_Seaflower_3250.mbm, Pink_Seaflower_3250.mif and Pink_Seaflower_3250.skn which means that the dc60815d47351ce2 folder is the one of the Pink Seaflower theme (by Babi)

7. When u come across a theme that you want to delete, go back to the Import folder and delete the whole theme folder. Like if I want to delete the pink seaflower theme, I would delete the whole dc60815d47351ce2 folder

8. Safely remove your phone

9. Enjoy your emptied theme gallery

*For other phones, the parent folder "10207114" may be different (I think). You just have to find the folder that contains an "Import" sub-folder

I have tried and tried, but I cannot find my N95 8GB's memory card anywhere on my PC

I have selected Data transfer mode on my phone, then My Computer on my PC, and all that shows up under Devices with removable storage is:

Nokia N95 8GB ( E: )
DVD+RAM Drive ( F: )
CD Drive ( G: )
Removable Disk ( L: )
Removable Disk ( M: )

If I select Nokia N95 8GB ( E: ), my PC goes to install Nokia PC Suite (which is already installed on my PC!). If if right click and select explore, then different folders come up, but none of them are "memory card", or "private" or "10207114" etc. I have even made sure that my PC is showing hidden folders.

I don't know what else to do
