It is 32GB of storage - no matter what the math wiz thinks....;-) He must have been thinking that cleaning the registry would only be saving space in RAM and not on the storage media. It does. Again, I'm sitting here working on setting up 5 new Asus ZenPad's for a client and playing in the sandbox at the same time. Hey - gotta do something while they all get updated. It's like watching grass grow. But to expand on my initial comment. I just recently updated an Acer tablet and it needed a few more megabytes to get to the magic 4GB it needed to perform the update and CCleaner came to the rescue as well as moving some files to temporary storage. No matter what I post here, there will always be someone fact checking me. And that’s good! Keeps me on my toes. -- Bob S. |
