Managing Downloads, Uninstalling an App

Managing Downloads

Files, apps, and other items you download in Browser, Gmail, Email, or in other ways, are stored on your tablet’s internal storage. You can use the Downloads app to view, reopen, or delete what you have downloaded.

To manage the demands on their networks or to help you avoid unexpected charges, some mobile networks place restrictions on the size of the files you can download. When you are connected to such networks, and you try to download an oversized-file, you are asked or required to delay downloading the file until the next time you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. At that time, the download resumes automatically. The Downloads app can also be used to view and manage these queued files.

Downloaded files are stored in the Download directory in your tablet’s internal storage. You can view and copy files from this directory when connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Uninstalling an App

Some apps come pre-installed on your device, and you can download additional apps using Play Store. If you decide to, you can uninstall apps you downloaded from Play Store and other sources.

There are several ways to uninstall an app:

1.From a Home screen, touch Apps ➔

Settings ➔ Application manager.

2.Touch the DOWNLOADED tab.

3.Touch the app you want to uninstall.

4.Touch the Uninstall button.

A pop-up displays the message Application will be uninstalled.

5.Touch OK to confirm you want to uninstall the app.

You can also use Play Store to uninstall apps you downloaded from there (see “Play Store” on page 158).

Tip: To uninstall updates to pre-installed apps, touch the app and touch Uninstall updates. A pop-up displays the message All updates to this Android system app will be uninstalled. Touch OK to uninstall the updates.
