Default Memory question.

I download some videos via BB and erased them from the Media area, but it seems that the storage is still getting used up like they aren't deleting.

I cleared my memory and this fixed it.

Is there another way to do this besides clearing all my memory?

Once u delete they should be gone. Device ram memory is different than storage memory. Call me confused.

Stupid question, but did you reset the device?

I'm not sure how BB memory works, but it could have been cached, or possibly the media player was still running?

If it cached then how do you wipe it out besides clearing the whole thing out?

You should be storing all your media on an SD Card... that is what it is meant for... pictures, videos, music... you will not have this issue if you store it on an SD Card.
