    I've got 256Gb -- mostly enough for my needs. . . My kindle has 512Gbk, & is getting dangerously full. I need to find out how to delete them once I'm done!

    I have two tablets, a Lenovo (I won on line) and a Simban with a
    keyboard.
    The Lenovo came loaded with all sorts of apps (90 per cent I don't use)
    and can't get rid of them. I've tried uninstall programs to no avail.
    The Simban will accept uninstall apps and I can get rid of a lot of stuff
    I don't want or need any longer.
    I use plug the Simban into the desktop and check its directory but with
    the Lenovo nothing even shows up.
    I think its a plot to keep people buying no ones. :)

    Joe,

    I think its a plot to keep people buying no ones. :)

    Microsoft keeps putting stuff on to slow it down, so you'll buy
    a newer, faster computer. Remember all the rush when Windows 95
    first came out?? So many found out the truth of "being guinea
    pig beta testers" for the operating system (I wasn't one of them,
    thankfully). <G>

    Likely. I don't like Lenovo -- I had an IBM Thinkpad 4.0, bought not knowing it had a sound bug so it wouldn't play sound.

    I contacted IBM,. & was shunted to lenovo who had bought their home computing division.

    Lenovo gave me a link on their site to fix the issue, & I downloaded the file, direct from them, & it was virus-infected, which I found out after the virus installed itself..

    Took me almost 4 days to manually clean my computer! (I didn't have the Win95 disk, to format & start fresh, so had to do it the hard way, manually going through Regedit. . . & so ended my years of only buying IBM-branded computers!

    I only have the 486 desktop left, not plugged in at the mo, but I got to get it back up & running -- I miss DOS. . .
