Some apps cannot be uninstalled from
your tablet, but they can be disabled. Tap
the Disable button to stop the app from
running on your tablet.
A note about memory usage
You typically don’t need to worry about managing apps
beyond installing, opening, and using them. But there
may be times when you want to know more about
what’s happening behind the scenes.
Apps use two kinds of memory: internal storage and
RAM. They use internal storage for themselves and any
files, settings, and other data they use. They also use
RAM (memory designed for temporary storage and fast
access) when they’re running.
Your tablet manages and carefully guards the portion
of internal storage where the system, apps, and most
data for those apps are stored, because this area may
contain your private information. It’s not possible to
view this portion of internal storage when you connect
your device to a computer with a USB cable. The other
portion of internal storage, where music, downloaded
files, and so on are stored, remains visible for your con-
venience.
Your tablet also manages how apps use RAM. It may
cache some things you’ve been using recently, for
quicker access if you need them again, but it will erase
the cache if it needs the RAM for new activities. You af-
fect the way apps use internal storage directly and in-
directly in many ways; for example, by:
• Installing or uninstalling apps.
• Downloading files in Browser, mail, and other apps.
• Creating files (for example, by taking pictures).
• Deleting downloaded files or files you created.
• Copying files between your device and a computer
via USB.
You rarely need to manage the way apps use RAM. But
you can monitor RAM usage and stop them if they mis-
behave.
