We talk a lot about CAB files here, and there are dozens of them floating on the forums. Basically, a CAB file is for your Shadow like an EXE installation file is for your computer. When you are done with the CAB file, you can delete it without deleting the program. This is a good practice because CAB files often take up a lot of space – and if the CAB is on your device and not the storage card, they can add up fast and take away storage memory.

A good practice is to keep a folder on your computer with all of the CAB files that you’ve ran on your Shadow. That way, if you ever need to hard reset, you can get going again with all of the CABs you’ve installed.
