do you have the Xperia Neo? Pro? Neo V?

either or make sure you backup EVERYTHING before you start deleting apps and backup your music, pictures, videos

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

ok on your PC

1) open any folder -> click on tools -> properties -> view -> show hidden files

2) mount the SD card, open the SD card's folder, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl C, on your desktop create a new folder, open it, then press CTRL + V

An easier way to install the Backup & Restore app

download the apk on your computer, send it to yourself through email, make sure you send it to your Gmail

now on your phone

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

wait for the email, once you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done

yes on the app drawer -> press the bottom right icon (a square made out of four small squares) you should be able to delete the apps from there
