SYMPTOMS
When you try to delete or to copy a large file on a Microsoft Pocket PC 2002-based device or a Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC 2003-based device, the process may fail. A zero-byte file may be created.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the copy process or the delete process takes longer than the auto power-off time limit for the device. If the copy process takes longer than the auto power-off time limit, the delete operation or the copy operation fails. A file is created that has zero bytes.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, copy large files directly to the memory card by using a card reader instead of by using the mobile device.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
