Samsung Galaxy J3

[emmie]

i have a message come up on my Samsug Galaxy J3 Mobile phone
storage almost full,
have no idea what to do,
if anyone can help would be much appreciated -

emmie, have you done the above and got rid of apps you don't need or use? Plus pictures/videos and downloads? If you have and you still don't have space, I agree with barry - some apps just seem to grow of their own accord so deleting and starting again might be an idea. Other than that get a new pnone. Very easy to do online

[emmie]

deleted everything that can be got rid of Youtube last time out, no pictures got rid of those before too, or i should say i copied them across to laptop those i wanted to keep.

[emmie]

i don't use much not FB or Instagram, and can't find a way to delete them off the phone...

[calmck]

I only use my phone for call, messages and whats app. No photos, emails or any apps. No storage problems. Have you cleared everything you don't use off your phone

[emmie]

calmk i think so, don't have photo's on there now,

[bednobs]

I don't know what else further to say than what chris has posted on how to do it. if you have done that and it didn't work, I don't know how else to help!

[emmie]

thanks for trying, i don't know what happens if it runs out of storage, does the phone stop working? -

Seems you still have lots of storage room left.

Micro SD cards are available in most major supermarkets. e.g. Asda

or Tesco
https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/304048179
(They're also available online too, of course)

The card slots into the side of your phone, alongside its SIM card. See pages 23 and 24 here:

[emmie]

not according to the phone tonyv, it saying am running out of space,

[emmie]

i am pretty stupid at this do you have to take off back of phone, as that proved difficult last time to insert sd card

[Buenchico]

^^^ See the pretty pictures, Emmie ;-)

[Er, that's a 'No', BTW!]

[emmie]

have read through the pages, i think i understand,

[emmie]

ok i am sorry so for being thick. -

Tony, I think she only ghastly 429 mb left, very little

[bednobs]

emmie, could you clarify if you have actually done the thing chris posted in his link on the first page?

[Buenchico]

Aha, Alava!

It looks like Samsung have moved the location of the slot for the micro-SD card! My link refers to the latest model but it appears that it's different with older ones. (Thanks for that!)

[emmie]

yes it quite an old phone. -

[emmie]

so looks like will have to buy an sd card, as little or nothing left to delete, are there types that are higher GB? what should i look for except the ones in Chris Link.
