My huge dilemma

I just got a update and got the usual:

"Device full

D'oh! There isn't enough storage space left on your device to download all this cool stuff. Free up some space, and try again."

So I have deleted many social apps, many games requiring huge amounts of memory and this is all I'm left with: (deletable apps)

Games:
The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
Icebreakers
Don't touch the spikes
Clash of Clans

Networks:
Facebook
Twitter
Netflix
Youtube
Iltalehti (a finnish news paper)
Skype
Blogger
iTube

Tools:
Stopilla (a bus info app)
Calculator
Google Translate
Imgur

These are literally all I have and I use them actively and I have deleted a BUNCH of my photos. I had to first transfer them to my laptop and that took for ages.

This is seriously killing me.


how much storage space?
  • I don't have storage problems on my iPad Air, but on my android phone, I use a couple of apps to help identify folders and apps that are disk space hogs.

    On your iPad, if you haven't done this already, start by going to Settings -> General -> Usage -> Storage

    to get an idea of where your disk space is going. This information will make your decision 1000x easier, as there are likely things that are eating a lot more disk space than you expected. Similarly, you won't have to agonize over deleting a favorite app if it only requires 20 mb of space.
