If you have an Windows Mobile phone or PDA you might have had this problem. Sometimes the “\Storage Card” folder gets renamed to “\Storage Card2″. What are the consequences of this? Each file reference to the “\Storage Card” will not work; this includes the shortcuts from the start menu to applications installed on the SD card.

The big problem is that if you don’t notice the folder rename and soft reset the device it will create an empty “\Storage Card” folder that will be used as the storage card. However the old “\Storage Card2″ will still be there and you will not be able to delete the new “\Storage Card”. Also, applications from “\Storage Card2″ will not be launched from shortcuts.

After many ROMs updates I am not able to fix completely this problem but I figured out how to fix it without hard resetting the device. The new “\Storage Card” folder cannot be deleted but… it can be renamed. So all you have to do is to rename “\Storage Card” to something else like “\Storage Card3″ and reset the device. After this, “\Storage Card2″ will become “\Storage Card” and you are free to delete “\Storage Card3″.
