I want to free up more memory for 2013.40. Here are some text files that I am not sure about. Which ones can I safely delete?
Es_ES
es_ES_FMI
es_ES_PRX
es_ES_TRF
es_US_PRX
es_US_TRF
et_EE
et_EE_FMI
et_EE_PRX
I only need US & Canada

It appears that you can open the files to see what is actually inside of them. Of course, the official "please have a backup before deleting files" always applies. I wonder if deleted text files could be added through WebUpdater--I would have guessed yes but the link above suggests no meaning that having a backup of these files is really important.
Backup text files
CraigW, you are correct that Webupdater doesn't replace the text files. Before I understood the value of backing up ALL files (I had been doing just the maps), I deleted all the text files except the various English flavors. Later I decided I wanted to have Spanish language available on my device and I tried Webupdater to no avail. I had to borrow a friends Garmin to copy the ES_*.txt files I wanted. Also, I believe some firmware updates may reload all the text files.

I have US English in voice and keyboard files, but not text. I believe the US English text file is located in inaccessible memory, you can't see it and you can't delete it.
I deleted all the text files. (Of course I have backup)
That frees up a few more MB. Even with a 30MB gpi, I now have 55MB available. The large JCV is on the SD card.
