Storage memory
Unlike many handhelds that can lose data if they lose power, all your data is always stored in non-
volatile persistent storage memory. Losing power will not impact saved data or configurations other
than the real-time clock. As with any computer system, we recommend that you regularly backup
your data to removable media or to a PC.
Accessing storage memory using File Explorer
The File Explorer ( / File Explorer) lets you browse the contents of folders on your unit.
To easily delete, rename, or copy an item, touch and hold the item and then select the function
desired.
Note – Unlike PC’s, Windows Embedded Handheld does not support a Recycle Bin. Once a file is deleted, it
cannot be recovered.
