Between music files, photos, videos and all manner of other items, keeping all the files scattered around your Nokia C5-03 organised can be no easy task. That's where the File Manager comes in, and here we're taking a closer look at how to use it.

The Nokia C5-03 may have very little in common with your desktop PC on the surface, but lift the lid and you'll find things are more similar than you might have thought. After all, just like on a PC the apps you install and the files you work with on your Nokia C5-03 are stored in folders, either on the phone's internal memory, or on a removable microSD card.

And just like on a PC, you can browse, organise, transfer and remove files and folders using a File Manager.

To have a look at what your Nokia C5-03 has stored on board, hit the Menu button, then tap Applications, Office and then File mgr. Straight away you'll get a handy snapshot of how much free space is available not only on the phone's internal memory, but on any memory card you have installed too.

There's also a third option – Backup, which allows you to instantly back up all the files stored on your phone's internal memory to the memory card for extra peace of mind, while there's also an option for restoring backed up files if something has indeed gone wrong. You can even program the Nokia C5-03 to back up your data automatically every day or every week, which might not be the worst idea in the world.

Returning to the main File Manager screen, you can explore the contents of your phone's internal memory or the memory card in a similar fashion to how you would on a computer, except instead of a double-click to drill down into a folder, you simply tap the folder on screen and it opens up so you can see what's inside.

The file structure used by the Nokia C5-03 isn't complex or difficult to understand. Videos are automatically saved in the Video Clips folder, images in the Images folder, sounds in the Sound files folder, and so on.

While browsing your files, there are always a variety of options open to you in the Options menu at the bottom left of the screen. You can add a brand new folder at any point by tapping Organise, then New folder; you can search for individual files, or sort long lists of files by name, type, size or date modified. If you're browsing a memory card, you can tap Options, then Memory card options and then Format to completely wipe the card clean.

To work with an individual file, tap and hold on the file name and a context menu will pop up after a couple of seconds, giving you a variety of handy options.

The first, Send, enables you to send the file via message or Bluetooth, or to share it online. You can also delete the file, or move or copy it to a different folder. There's an option to mark individual files should you wish to perform a bulk action later on, while you can rename files here too.

How you use these tools depends entirely on what you're trying to achieve, but whether it's transferring a song to a mate via Bluetooth, backing up your precious data, or weeding out unwanted files that are just taking up space, the File Manager has all you need to get the job done.
