storage memory is critically low, what should I do?

Hi,

I get this message every few hours:   "storage memory is critically low. if the storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. delete files that are no longer needed."  then I also get this message: " you can't receive any SMS messages as the memory is low".

What is "storage memory", where is it located, how can I find it through the file explorer? I noticed it happened after I downloaded all the emails in my yahoo inbox for the past 30 days(before I only used to download for the past 7 days). how can I move the files in that "storage memory" to other storages(my device-storage card), and then will my emails software be able to reach them?

thanks

old thread....but found it when searching online for a solution for myself when the dreaded "storage memory is critically low warning error"

I browse and use opera alot....

This is what I had:  approx 3mb of memory in the "storage" side when clicking the Memory icon in programs.

This is what I did:  browse file explorer, my device, application data, opera9...goto cache & select & delete all....then go back 1 screen and select download and select all and delete

*you can do this directly on your device or while connected to your pc.

This is what I now have:  approx 52 mb of free memory in storage.

  hope this also helps someone else....
