A
Android Question

I bought a cheap Net10 phone with the intent to use it as a music player. I wanted to install Power amp media player app and play files off of a 32gb micro SD card.
Upon firing up the phone it starts updating. All is fine until the "Google play services" and "Google play store" updates. With these two updates, the remaining 9/10ths of storage memory is full and throwing a
"low on space" error.
I go back and uninstall/disable every useless app I can get access to, clear all cache's delete all data. Before I get to the end of the list all the data is back! WTF?
I disable WiFi, Bluetooth and enable airplane mode. The phone should be as inert as a brick. I repeat the scrubbing and clearing And receive half my memory back in return. Before I can blink IT'S ALL BACK! Full up! I have repeated this more than a dozen times, there is no mistake. All comms disabled, airplane mode on. Data returns.
Now I would like to know, With all radios disabled, where the h&ll is the data coming from? And how does google play use 80% of the storage and play store use the rest? Not enough storage for even one app? REALLY? All internal storage is available, Sd card is installed. There is not enough system memory to download even one app? I got memory to burn, but I can't use it.
