My Smart Manager shows 90% internal memory used with 1.5 Gb free =14.5/16Gb
I have a memory card with 4.4 / 29.8 Gb used.
I clear most of my emails daily have 14 opened in Inbox, 2 in the saved folder, 4 in Sent, Zero in Trash & Junk.
I am running with the bare minimum of software icons on the screen, in fact there is space for another. The bloatware like Knox, kids stuff NY times , Evernote etc is either disabled or deleted where possible or reduced to factory settings.
Any attachments/Downloads are either deleted or saved to the memory card.
I carry out a Norton Sweep to remove cookies and other rubbish daily plus activate my Smart Manager.
Can I create anymore memory space on the tablet as sometimes I get halfway through an email which tend to be more than one liners and the tablet freezes up due to lack of working memory, then I loose it and have to start again.
I only use the tablet for emails andsurfing the internet, few photos which are transferred to the memory card into the appropriate folder.
Any real computing I use my HP desktop.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Open developer options and find background processes and limit to zero background processes. It prevents syncing while using apps but it will free up as much memory as possible.

What is the route to developer options, I have checked all the way through settings and not found anything of that name.
I am not an IT type so not familiar with all the behind the scenes stuff thats going on to make it work.

Thank you Antikythera, I will reduce my Norton sweep though it doesn't seem to make much difference in speed of software coming up, thats pretty instant. I haven't downloaded any software for years and the memory manager I think I got off a previous Samsung site.
Perhaps if I save my email when writing it more often I may not have the problems.
What is annoying are all the templates in Hancome Office that seem to be repeated, none of which I use, such as loan calculators ( never had a loan in my life), memos, fax headers, marriage planning (been married for 40 years and I did all that on the back of an envelope).
Thanks for your input and advice.

Hancom Office is very similar to MS Office, I use the Word & Excel from it, its compatible with MS Office, though I kicked the Powerpoint equivalent into touch as I have no use for it. But will stick with Word and Excel, which seems better than what was on my wifes early Tab S and her present Tab 2S
As long as I close my windows and save frequently I may be OK.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I will aggree about Developer Options , that would be a bridge too far and could end in Horlicksing the whole tablet.

Yes my apologies. I forget people don't obsessively try to figure out every little detail on their phone like I do. Best to leave it alone if your not familiar. Even if you are familiar with it, most things shouldn't be changed, unless you are an actual app developer.
Personally, I use my devices more like mini computers than phones, so I do make some changes, mostly to make small speed increases and to save battery life. Even then, I will research a switch before I change it. Just cuz some1 said it on the internet don't make it true. So verify with multiple sources.
So my apologies. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
