Problem with memory

Tuckernuck · 12-22-2015, 09:35 PM

My Kindle Fire HD 7 cannot connect to the wifi. I get a message saying "Your Fire is out of storage space. In order to continue to download of copy content to your Fire, please remove some apps or content files. Wireless functionality and USB file transfers have been turned off until there is more storage space available."

More info to aid in solving this problem: my wife is currently playing 18 games on the device. I believe that there is a way to upload info to the cloud, but, of course, this won't happen without a wifi connection. And we can't get a wifi connection until we free some memory.

I am enough of a computer person to wonder if I can copy any info to a computer to free up some space. But then how do I restore it? And I'll bet that there are other ways to solve this problem. A smart person would try to do this in spite of limited knowledge. Being a wise person I have only one thing to say: Help!

So, now it's time to ask: can anyone help me?

So far as your PC is concerned, your Kindle is just another external drive, like a thumb drive. Connect to PC and delete the games. Nip down the road, buy another Kindle just for your wife, for games. Xmas is the right time!

You will have to remove some apps or some books or whatever else is on there.

Buy another for yourself rather (don't want to lose game position)

And a Fire to Windows is more than a thumb drive equivalent, more a multi-media device that doesn't need the "safely eject" command.

You could also install a 'Clean' App (free).
