Help How to free space / uninstall apps?

My Samsung Galaxy S6102 Duos always shows a message when starting, something like storage full, there is no space in the storage of the system or so. I have uninstalled / or try to uninstall some apps, but the message / space stays the same, about 15 MB (http://i.imgur.com/F81gRzb.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/KuYKJs9.jpg). "Google Play" or "Samsung Apps" are the biggest ones.
How could I set space free / unintall apps?

And the message storage is shown to be full also, although there are just 2 SMS stored, no e-mail.

I am using a SD-Card with 4 GB: http://i.imgur.com/hTcwDUg.jpg.

Go into "settings" then "manage apps" from there you can delete apps that you don't want and are taking up space. Another place we tend to use up a lot of space is with pictures and videos. You can also go into "Gallery" and delete any pics and videos from What's App that you may have for example. These are great places to start, if it doesn't free enough space you can also try to move
Many thanks for the link, EarlyMon.

Sorry for the bad expression. So, how could I uninstall an apps to get some free space to avoid the message?

Thanks again.
apps to your SD card if your phone has one.

Yes, that is the problem, there are shown - like to see on the screenshots - just 8 apps using about 60, 70 MB or less.

OK, there is no video or image.

Yes, all of the apps, which are movable (there is that option shown, a button) to the SD card I have moved.

When you to Settings > Apps and pick an app to uninstall, don't forget to tap on 'Clear cache' and 'Clear data' *before* uninstalling the app.
That is what I didn't do, didn't know. I guess, now it is too late.

Can't believe that data would leave behind THAT much "crap" on your phone. There must be something else going on there. I use this app to get rid of a lot of junk files on my phone and it does a good job, just make sure you read the delete list VERY carefully, it's very aggressive about getting rid of stuff, lol.

And only use it to get rid of temporary files.

Then uninstall it.

The stuff it claims to do beyond that - it doesn't do.

It's pretty small, and if it fails to install normally, just download it to your PC first then put it on your SD card and install it from there. If your cache is full of crap it might not let you install it the normal way, but this usually will get you around that! Good luck!
Thank you for that program, I will try it. Hope, I can install it because of the lack of free space. Most of the installations done before failed.

Many thanks again.

Thank you.

Yes, I just tried it, the installation failed, free space shown 15 MB and the app needs about 13 MB.

And I cannot find an option to download it to my Notebook.
