Intrum method to selectively delete maps, recover storage
I have searched this forum, and it seems that there is not an application feature to selectively delete maps, or parts of maps. I understand this is a possible future feature. But I want a temporary solution today.
Will any or all of these examples work?
1) Delete the entire folder "mytopo". Leave the other map folders alone, such as "usdrg".
2) Delete all folders with the name 13 and with the name 14. This would work if I only wanted Mag level 15.
3) Delete all files dated 26 AUGUST 2010 (the day I sat and panned around for 6 hours looking at lots of stuff I never wanted to keep.)
Will I crash the application because some index somewhere, is out of sync with what is really on the SD card?
Got a better idea?

It won't cause a crash to have tiles missing - the worst you'd probably expect it is to see weird things when zooming when some levels are missing.
Note that there is a limitation to clearing up space by deleting the less detailed layers. Level 14 has 1/4 of the number of tiles of level 15, and all levels 14 and under have in total less than 1/3 of the number of tiles in level 15. This is based on an infinite geometric series with finite sum.
