Freeing flash0 Space

Be very careful, especially because this deals with flash! Messing up can result in a brick!
First, enter recovery mode and Toggle USB (flash0) in Advanced. On your PC, flash0 should appear as a drive (X:). Copy everything in your flash0 to your PC. These will be your backup files in case you mess up.

If for some reason you forgot to create a backup of your files, you can always recover back to 1.50 or reflash 3.03 OE-C or 3.10 OE-A(2) depending on which one you had.
