Help Memory Full - Please help me understand what's happening

[PghLesbian]

Hi. I am not really good with technical things so I don't quite understand some previous solutions similar problems.

Over the past 48 hours, my phone is buzzing constantly to tell me that my memory is full. "Low On Space - 739 MB Used and 1.5 GB Free System Storage"

Then I get a message instructing me to delete email, call log, texts or calendar & contact info. I deleted old texts and the call log. I uninstalled and reinstalled my multiple gmail accounts (I use the email app) I can't delete contacts or calendar info - I need that!

So ... I don't really understand what is happening. I don't understand how I should know when I have "too many" apps running. Its hard to find a "mb/gb for dummies primer!" I've very happy to delete apps, but I don't *understand* the core issue so I'm concerned this will continue to happen.

The only thing different in the past few weeks
1. battery is dying after 4 or 5 hours off the charger no matter how much/little I use it
2. I've added a few short videos. i don't know how to transfer those to my pc

I'd appreciate some help. I realize I may sound naive & ignorant, but I honestly don't know this stuff.

Sue

Not sure, but look here for Memory Full:

You can use the USB cable to get videos from phone to pc. Here are some good instructions (scroll to long posting near bottom):

These instructions are for moving photos from pc to phone, but once you have the DCIM file from phone displayed (as poster explains) you can drag your videos to a folder on the pc. Good luck!
