IPhone :: Deleting Apps Isn't Freeing Up Any Memory?
Apr 20, 2012
When I delete apps on my iPhone 4 with 32g it doesn't free up any memory? I goto settings,general, about and it says 28g used and like 4g free. I deleted almost all my apps and the memory stayed the same.Why am I having this problem and what can I do to fix it? It seems like it is slowing phone down also. Plz help I really don't want to use reset option but if I have to I will.
Info:
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1, Freeing up memory space?
I find myself constantly obsessed with freeing memory on my 3GS. If it's not at least 140mb free I'm anal about it lol. My question is, are there any negative effects to doing this? Normally I would think not EXCEPT my phone has rebooted in safe mode only about 3 times total after freeing it up through SBSettings. Other than those instances it has never happened.
I am attempting to transfer as many files as possible from my phone memory to mass memory...At present I only have about 16mb of space left on my phone memory and when I check my files I see that 39mb is used for other and 18mb for SIS applications.......the rest..eg calender, contacts, messaging are taking up very little space...can anyone tell me what other and SIS actually mean and what files they include....I have purchased and downloaded Quickoffice...could this be part of it...
I have noticed that when using the pull up screen and using the little mobilego propeller icon to clear active processes, with in a few minutes of doing so, there are more processes again to clear...even the phone has sat idle. I would figure without me doing anything, it would stay "optimized", but this is not the case. Is this normal or am I having an issue?
Although I've not downloaded any applications for a couple of months, my free space has declined to less than 5 MB on a regular basis. I store no photos, chats, or emails on the internal memory, just the memory card, and just to see if I can fix things I delete large emails as they arrive to try to stave off the inevitable "0 KB Free" message. Lately of course the BB has been deleting emails and chats, apparently to regain space.
The last time the delete checklist popped up -- "you're about out of memory, why not delete some of the installed apps to retrieve space?" -- I deleted Sprint Navigation, which said it was taking up 71MB. I figured that would give me a lot of breathing room. It completely deleted, I hard-rebooted the device, and... no change to my available memory. I'm still losing space. As a matter of fact, after deleting it and receiving that message, I thought maybe it doesn't understand, so I tried reinstalling it and got the "insufficient memory for installation"! So now I deleted something that's potentially useful -- and worked -- and can't put it back on even though it was just deleted!
I would like to have all of my phone apps in one place (home computer), When I switched from laptop to desktop the phone apps in itunes didn't migrate to the new computer. I try to sync the phone to the desktop all of the old apps that are on the laptop are deleted and vice versa.
i have been trying to free up memory on my iPhone and deleted a lot of my photos, however it doesn't seem to work. it says i have only 231 photos left in camera roll (i don't have any other album) but when it's plugged to the computer with iTunes, it says photos taking up 12.8GB of storage... how can 231 photos be taking up so much storage? how can i free up the storage?
Recently I downloaded an app which caused me to go over my memory allowance on my iphone. Instead of telling me not to download the app, my phone deleted all the music on it. They are still all on itunes on my computer, however when I try to re Auto-fill or sync my phone it refuses to put the music back on the phone because still thinks that all the music is on the phone. This is extrmely frustrating. I have deleted all my photos off the phone (these were taking up the most memory space) in the hope that the music would reappear but it hasnt. how to get my my music back onto my phone?
I want to delete apps I first downloaded to my iphone and then deleted them. Which means that those apps are now available in iCloud. I would like to delete them from iCloud because my phone says I have full space in iCloud. How can I delete them?
I have the Gmail app but it's not working properly. So, I want to fully delete it then reinstall it. I tried this last night by holding my finger on the app until it jiggled then pushed the "x" in the corner. I then restarted my phone, when to the app store and installed the app again, but it still signed me in automatically as if I didn't delete it. So, how do I fully delete it?
iOS 7.1.2 update for my IPhone 4S Cloud. I have received the update notice and I don't understand why I cannot update? I purchased 20MB of space from ICloud which is more than enough to cover the update and my data? So if I have to delete apps to upload this update I will lose my data or can I store it in the cloud and Delete it off the phone and then turn on the cloud again to down load to my phone. If I have to do it that way how do you down load from your Icloud afterwards?
A week or so ago, my iphone deleted a photo editing app, and as I went to redownload it, it gave me the option to open the app (which was not on my phone), but not to reinstall it. it did the same thing with a music app the next day. now it's at the point that I cannot download any app; deleted or new.

I'm trying to free up some memory on C. For some bizarre reason nokia never seem to put enough C memory in their phones, I want to delete some n-gage seeing as I don't have any need for it and it's not even being supported anymore. How can i delete all the ngage things? 11mb for the ngage installer? that's just wasting space! in the past whenever i've done anything with n-gage its just messed it up and left a jigsaw icon there. I am on v11 because my ridiculous network operator is taking the mick with releasing any updates.
Totally new to this phone, with the option to download applications. Having great fun in doing so but not always given the option of where to save them to with the end result that they are saving to the phone memory which keeps filling up and then giving me an error message. Can anyone please tell me how to move apps from the phone memory to the card memory. And can anyone also tell me if I have an icon on the 'Menu' screen and the 'Apps' screen, does this mean the application has been downloaded twice and do I need both or can I delete one (presumably the 'Menu' one)?
I recently bought Nokia 5800. When installed any jar or .sis files on Card Memory, eventually my Phone Memory is getting used. Even though I am very diligent in selecting Card Memory while installation, Phone Memory is getting reduced. Kindly Help me please.

I had a curve previously, loved it. I wanted a touch screen, and got this phone. No problems the first week but now I am constantly getting a message saying application memory low, asking me to delete the one application (facebook) that I have installed on my phone. I have a 4gb memory card and everything is stored to that not the phone. so when i click no, it deletes my texts which is very inconvenient seeing as how I do alot of my work from my phone via text with my boss. it deletes my texts even if i only have 10 on my phone... it deletes the messages and leaves the blank message box. How to keep it from deleting my texts I changed the setting to keep the messages forever but it still deletes them. I am ready to throw my phone out the window!
Issue #1: I deleted all of my music on my 5800 and reloaded all new music (about 2 gigs worth), I restarted the phone and then refreshed my library. It added my new music but it did not delete the old music. How can I delete these old files from my library.
Issue #2: Every time I connect my phone in Mass Storage mode and sometimes in PC Suite mode, the Messenger says that it is Unable to Read the memory card and switches my text message saves to the C:, I then have to go back and change my message save location back to E: manually. Is there a way to stop the phone from doing this.
Issue #3: After upgrading my 5800 to v40 my left headphone plays louder than my right. I have tried different headphones and different songs and they all played the same. I am push the plug all the way in. It was working just fine before the upgrade. Is anyone else having this same issue?
These attention to detail issues get annoying when they pop up, Nokia (or Symbian) really needs to fix these issues. Some of these issue carry over from update to update and thats not good business. I would like to stay away from resetting my phone if at all possible...I have done so many resets, I have lost count and quite frankly my phone is setup the way I wont it and do not want to sit and set it up again.
Is it possible to delete stock android apps? I use Google hangouts for texting now, and I want to delete the stock messaging app. For now I'm just hiding it, also unchecked marked all it's settings. For some reason when I un-hide it, my messages from hangouts will be in the stock messages app.
I know how to delete an app, but I want to know how to remove the icon also? I want it completely gone off of my phone like I never downloaded it in the first place. Is there anyway to do this or will I have to keep the icons hidden and will my uninstalled list in blackberry apps just keep getting longer?
I switched over to Nova today, how to uninstall apps on it? I tried doing the usual thing of dragging the apps to delete like on TW but it just took them to the home menu.
