The Amazon Fire Tablet is an elegant device, but its storage space is not impressive. Knowing how to manage your storage effectively will help you delete unnecessary files and make cloud backups. Read on to learn the most efficient methods to clear out your device.
1. Delete All Photos from the Fire Tablet
Without any ado, here is how to delete all your photos from your Fire Tablet device:
- Tap on the Apps menu on your Fire Tablet.
- Select Local.
- Tap on Gallery.
- Manually go through your photos, select each one, and hold your finger until a window pops up. Select Delete and repeat as needed.
You can use this technique to delete your videos as well. Alternatively, to delete items directly from the carousel, just tap and hold on the item you want to delete (photo, video, or app) and then select Remove from Device.
Note: Deleting your photos, videos, or apps is permanent! Ensure you back up important data before deletion.
2. Use Amazon Drive for Backup
The best way to backup your photos and videos is via Amazon Drive. Visit the Amazon Drive Web Page and sign in with your Amazon account.
You can access Amazon Drive on desktop or mobile. An Amazon Prime membership offers benefits like unlimited photo storage, which is perfect for large libraries.

3. Other Means of Saving Storage Space
If you prefer not to use Amazon Drive for backup, you can also transfer photos and videos to your computer using a USB connection. This method frees up space without needing to purchase a costly SD card.
Archive Option: If you're looking to save storage without permanent deletion, use the Archive option:
- Launch Settings.
- Tap on Storage.
- Select Archive Now.
- Choose the content you want to archive.
Remember to check your apps as well. Remove the ones you rarely use to save even more space.
4. Clear Unused Apps
Follow these steps to find and delete apps that you are not using on the Fire Tablet:
- Launch Settings on your Fire Tablet.
- Select Apps and Notifications.
- Choose Manage All Apps.
- Tap the Menu option (upper-right corner).
- Select Show System Apps.
- Go through the apps one by one. Select any that consume too much space and tap Uninstall.
It’s best to avoid third-party cleaning apps, as they can create unnecessary clutter themselves. Regular manual clean-ups are advisable.
5. Factory Reset
If you'd rather not delete everything individually, consider resetting your Fire Tablet to factory settings. Follow these steps:
- After backing up your important data, launch Settings.
- Select Device Options.
- Choose Reset to Factory Defaults.
- Press Reset to initiate the process.
The factory reset will erase all data, including photos, videos, and apps. Be prepared to sign in with your Amazon account again and set up your network connection.
Conclusion
Your decluttered Fire Tablet should now run more smoothly and be more responsive. Always back up essential data before deleting files or performing a factory reset. Consider investing in a reliable SD card for additional storage needs.
