i dont know much about tablets, but if they have an android opperating system then you should be able to open developers options and then select running services.
this willcgive you the info you desire.
the problem is that there is not much you can do about your problem as a general rule.
what i have discovered about tablets is what has keot me from buying one - low RAM, Google infestation (bet you $1 that there is a ton of Google eating your RAM) and outdated OS.
That is, unless you want to spend 'vehicle money' on one.
Another issue is the brand that you have chosen.
Samsung is known to have some of (if not the) largest OS to do the same things as everybody elses.
It is not uncommon to see a Samsung OS use more than half of the available space on any given device, while other brands need less than 25% to do the same things.
If your tablet is not a high end device, it is probably not worth the effort or time spent.
Just live with it as it is, because it is what it is, and be glad that most devices last a couple of years at best and then you can use your newfound knowlege to move on to better products that suit your needs.
i have battled the same issues you are having (minus the whole gigantic Samsung OS) for the majority of my time with Android.
The good news is that from Android 11 on up, you dont need root access to shut off apps that seize up low RAM devices.
if your device fits this scenario, then i know a few things that can help, but there are always trade offs that you may not like.
so, you need to know what OS the device is running, the amount of RAM available, and the size of the OS, along with having developers options open for me to be of any help.
if you are have these things and are able, the app to use to shut off unwanted apps is called Canta.
it cannot brick a device, but if you screw up, you may need to factory reset it.
that means you should have backup of anything important on the device before you begin.
Uninstall any app without root!
