Samsung Galaxy 10.1.

lathbury · 3rd July 2014, 11:53

I have a Galaxy 10.1 GT-P5110 which has hundreds of deleted e.mails, when I delete them do they go to a bin as in Windows, or are they permanently deleted. The tablet is running slow and sometimes crashing, could this be the cause?. Also, how do I delete my search and browse history?. Thanks. John.

John

When you delete emails they go into the trash folder, you'll then need to delete them from that folder also to remove them fully from your tablet.

If you're using the stock browser:-
Open the browser,
Click the left soft key,
Scroll down to Settings and click
Click Privacy and security
Click second item down - Clear History
Click OK

Hi J1MBO, Sorry about the delay in answering, I am trying to figure out what to do, when I go to "settings" and click "security" there is no "privacy" button. I have sent all my e.mails, some of which I was saving, to the trash folder. Have I done it right?. I don't know much about these Android tablets, I have only just got used to Windows 7. Thanks, John.

Apologies for the delay in replying John.

I'm unsure which version of the Tab you've got or for that matter which version of the android OS is installed on it. Either way in most cases access is similar when doing such as clearing the history or cache.

Again there's an assumption that you are using the "stock" browser, by that I mean you're using the internet browser that was pre-installed on your tablet, the world icon marked "internet" in this screenshot

Open the app

And then click the Menu button, that's the left soft key item 3 in this screenshot

Which will bring up the following sub menu

Scroll down and click Settings which will either open another sub menu like the screenshot below or open a long list of options

Now if as above click Privacy and Security which will open the following screen

And click clear history.

and click OK

If when you went into settings you were presented with a long list of options scroll down to the section headed by Privacy and Security and click clear history.

Onto emails.....

From the trash folder you'll need to delete them again to fully remove them from your tablet, hope this screenshot helps

However if there's some of them you still want to keep you can always move them back into your inbox.

Hi J1MBO, Many thanks for the help, I have followed your diagrams and have finally deleted all my e.mails. The tablet system is "Android 4.2.2," again, many thanks for helping me. I have printed off the pages you sent and will keep them. John.
