I was thinking of the TRS 80 as having a tape drive.
I wonder what tiny amount of data was stored on a cassette tape compare to what can fit on today's huge-capacity SD cards.... Of course 30 or 40 years from now today's cards will no doubt seem tiny compared to whatever storage capacity is available by then.

I hope you can get some things moved on your phone. I have hooked mine up to my PC a few times to move or copy things like pictures - it's easy to do.

I don't know why you didn't see any lower storage numbers after you removed some things. That doesn't seem right.
