     Hello,

    My MS906 decided to install the recent BMW update to the SD card rather than the internal storage. I did not write down what files could be deleted from the internal storage. What files do I remove to regain additional internal storage? Also, what criteria does the MS906 use to determine where it installs updates? Finally, if I want to move the BMW update from the SD card back to the internal storage, how do I do this? Thanks!

    If you want ot use BMW on the internal storage then there is no need to delete anything.
    Otherwise it is the /scan/car/europe/ folder for BMW/Mini/Rolls-Roys and the same in the /scan/service/Europe folder.

    I was able to install BMW on the internal storage.
    Here the steps I did

    - uninstall/remove all BMW/Mini/Rolls-Roys software (Diag and Service !)
    - rename the /scan/config/extSdDistribute.xml file which holds information about out-soruced BMW software to extSdDistribute.xml.bak
    - power down the MS906
    - remove SD
    - boot MS906
    - Update MS906 as BMW gets on the list

    Please note that I have NO SD anymore in the system and since then no problems.
    As this extSdDistribute.xml gets re-created (I have a new one from October 28`th) it can be that BMW gets installed on the SD as soon as a SD is in the system.

    Based on the support the rename of the xml is not needed, but it does not harm.
