If your device is having difficulty completing tasks like file downloading, it’s a dead
giveaway that it needs some maintenance. We’re used to the idea of spending a bit of time running hard disk defragmentation, spyware scans and other tools on our PCs, but we may not be so au fait with what’s needed on the limited-memory phones and PC-substituting tablets we’re using daily. Every time you click on a Web browser download link and view a PDF or other
downloadable file — like a podcast, email attachment image, or offline map — on your
device, that content is being stored and is using up the limited space available.
