Shut off the phone  
While holding the X button, turn the phone back on.  
You should see an exclamation graphic  
Hold the camera button and press the volume up button  
Select Clear Cache, reboot the phone after it finishes.

Shouldn’t delete it. I’m not familiar with the EVO…might be a different boot up than the droids

Nope this should be pre-boot…before you are even at your home screen.

Is your battery still sucking the chode? Maybe it’s a bad battery?

Probably already tried these but here are some tips anyway:

Just got a brand new battery from Sprint… wish me luck… lol (its at 31% now) lol. it came in with 40ish on it. Maybe I’ll just bite the bullet and do a full factory reset…

Negative…But I might later this week. I’m on the original Droid running 2.2. With wifi on, and syncing on multiple accounts turned way down (off on my work account), I can last about 2 whole days before needing a charge.

Well you can manage the cpu and stuff via rooting. I honestly haven’t tried it so I can’t say.

will…there is a one click root for the evo with froyo…very easy.

as for the battery issue, thats new to me. i’ve had no battery issues when i was stock.

however…i am having random rebooting issues with the phone, which seems to be a a well known problem.
