I am not brave enough to turn on the wifi yet.

Does it mean if the file size doesn't change, it should be ok?

Probably. If gets to the size of a few hundred megabytes, it will be concerning.

FW file is around 250 MB

I've had trouble deleting files that for some reason are FUSE mounted. I've never figured out how or why they get in that state.

For the Colorsoft there is unfortunately no way to fix this at the moment. The fix normally involves installing an official software update, however Amazon has not released an official update for the Colorsoft yet.

You best hope is probably to wait for an update to be available on the Amazon website, and then follow the instructions in this post from shamanNS.
