  1. Why does my storage keep going down


    My storage keeps going down while I'm using my computer. I'm not downloading or installing anything. My browser keeps closing since it doesn't have enough free space to stay open.

    "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,
