When I uninstall something it's not giving me my memory back.

I uninstalled two fairly large programs(over a MB) and it is not giving my memory back even after soft reset. Is there another program I should be using other than "Remove Programs"? I searched but all I came up with was a bunch of RAM questions. Not storage memory. I am asking about the internal storage memory. Also I ran a program which ultimately cause me to do a hard reset, and it for some reason when you would try and run it would eat up your internal storage. I tried uninstalling it, along with other things and it stayed full. So I hard reset and now I accidentally loaded on two programs I didn't want after the HR and before the uninstall it said 109.15 free mem. After the uninstall and SR it still shows 109.15.

Are you sure you aren't selecting your storage card as the install location? You can always browse the file system either through the device or Windows & see if any of the directories are still there for the programs you uninstalled.

Personally I have not had any problems recovering storage space after removing a program.

Same here. An application that does a bit better job uninstalling and managing your memory: MemMaid and there is also SKTools.

Thanks both of you.
