S60ResourceCleanup is a Python script for Nokia S60 3rd Edition mobile devices to free space on drives by deleting unwanted and unnecessary non-English application resources and help files that are installed by default by Symbian applications.

Several Symbian software (especially Nokia’s) install resource and help files for many non-English languages even though you don’t require them. This script lets you select the languages that you want to keep and deletes the resource and help files of all other un-needed languages.

The files are deleted from C:\Resource (if the device is hacked & security disabled) & E:\Resource and sub-directories. These files have the extensions .r[dd] and.h[dd] where dd is the language code.

The script can take a backup of the removed files, on memory card (E:\ResourceBackup). You can also restore the files from the backup. Or you can transfer them to your computer and free space from the memory card.
