    "You've reached the storage limit on your phone. Go free...." How?

    Just got a HTC Surround from ATT. Signed in to xbox live app, tried to do something and says" You've reached your storage limit." There is no place to go manage storage or delete anything. I get a similar message in other apps.

    Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Thanks,
