Can someone explain how I go about deleting "apps" from my Storm 1 (with the latest os upgrade)? I recently received a message on the device saying I am low on "app memory space." Please, go slow I am a little light on brains! Thanks

What OS do you have 4.7 or 5.0, what apps installed?
Start here by reading this long post on freeing app memory.
{please see entire article in the Blackberry Technical Solution Center: How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone}
The following are suggestions on how to maximize available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone
Media cards are especially useful for BlackBerry smartphone users who want to store media files like songs, pictures, videos, voice notes, and ring tones, or who want to store pictures they take with the built-in cameras. Built-in video cameras on BlackBerry smartphones require a media card to function.
To make sure the built-in camera is set up to save picture files on the media card, complete the following steps:
Removing features and applications that are underused increases the available flash memory on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Use the Setup Wizard application to remove languages that you do not use from the BlackBerry smartphone. Removing languages is highly recommended because it is one of the most significant ways to increase available flash memory.
To remove languages from the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps.
To remove applications from the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps.
Minimize the number of contacts stored in the Address Book on the BlackBerry smartphone.
One way to minimize the number of contacts stored in the Address Book is to use the remote address lookup feature when you need to send an email message rather than store company contacts in the Address Book. You can use this feature if your BlackBerry smartphone uses BlackBerry® Device Software 4.0 and later and one of BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software version 3.5 for Microsoft® Exchange or BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software version 2.2 or later for IBM® Lotus® Domino®.
The BlackBerry smartphone user can delete old and unused items and also adjust settings so that the BlackBerry smartphone deletes old items as part of its regular routine maintenance.
Change the Keep Messages setting on the BlackBerry smartphone to reduce the number of old messages using flash memory.
To change the Keep Messages setting, complete the following steps.
Change the Keep Appointments setting to reduce the number of old calendar events using flash memory.
To change the Keep Appointments setting, complete the following steps.
Note: Email messages and appointments are only removed from the BlackBerry smartphone. The email messaging application and the appointment application the BlackBerry smartphone is associated with will retain the email messages and appointments that are removed from the BlackBerry smartphone after the time period that is specified.
Adjust the following settings for optimal storage efficiency on your BlackBerry smartphone:
In BlackBerry® Desktop Software, set messages to stop being forwarded to the BlackBerry smartphone when it is cradled.
To adjust this setting complete these steps.
Set messages to prompt you when deleting an email message on the BlackBerry smartphone. The prompt allows you to choose to either delete the message on the BlackBerry smartphone only or on the BlackBerry smartphone and the messaging server, which deletes the email message on both the BlackBerry smartphone and the email application with which it is associated.
To adjust this setting on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
Note: If you position the cursor on a date field in the email messages list on the BlackBerry smartphone and select Delete Prior, you will only delete the messages on the BlackBerry smartphone no matter what the setting is in the Delete On field, which leaves the email messages saved in the email application with which the BlackBerry smartphone is associated.
Flash memory is used to download and display email messages on the BlackBerry smartphone. Set the Auto More option to No to make sure that only the sections of the email message that you want to read on the BlackBerry smartphone are downloaded, displayed, and thus, stored in flash memory. By setting the Auto More option to No, the BlackBerry smartphone displays approximately the first 2 KB of an email message; you can display more of the email message by selecting More on the menu.
Note: If the Auto More option is set to Yes, scrolling automatically displays more of the email message. Be aware that you may be dowloading large email messages by scrolling through an email message on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Note: The size of the entire email message is displayed at the bottom of the email message screen. Average messages are usually no larger than 2 KB.
By setting the Auto More option to No, you can make sure the flash memory is not unnecessarily used on the BlackBerry smartphone by disallowing the automatic download option.
To set the Auto More option to No, complete the following steps:
Caution: The More All option on the menu gives you the choice of downloading the entire email message at once, no matter how the Auto More setting is configured.
The More All option should be used with caution since the BlackBerry smartphone uses flash memory to store email messages that have been displayed.
For BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry Device Software 3.8 or 4.0, set the BlackBerry smartphone to allow content compression. Although content compression causes the BlackBerry smartphone to work harder (thus, using more battery power), it will make sure that email messages use the least amount of flash memory that is possible.
To set the BlackBerry smartphone to allow content compression, complete the following steps:
Battery power can be maximized by following these simple suggestions.
Use BlackBerry smartphone shortcuts to access common system features quickly. For instructions, see KB02867 and the Getting Started Guide for your BlackBerry smartphone. Using shortcuts allows you to do the same things on your BlackBerry smartphone more quickly and efficiently, while saving battery power.
Some common shortcuts include the following:
Set the Auto On/Off option to turn off the BlackBerry smartphone at a time of day when you are not using it (such as at night), and turn on again at a time of day that you are ready to use it (such as in the morning just before you wake up). Battery power is saved by turning the power off at times when the BlackBerry smartphone is not being used.
To set the Auto On/Off option on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
Tip: Set the BlackBerry smartphone to turn on just before you need to use it, (such as a few minutes before you wake up in the morning) so that the BlackBerry smartphone has a chance to receive the email messages sent to you during the time that the BlackBerry smartphone was turned off. This way, the email messages have already been received when you are ready to read them.
When a particular wireless connection is not needed, use the Manage Connections application on the BlackBerry smartphone to turn off the connection. For example, if you do not need to use Bluetooth® technology, you can use Manage Connections to turn the Bluetooth connection off.
To turn the Bluetooth connection off on the BlackBerry smartphone, complete the following steps:
Note: Using Manage Connections, turn the mobile wireless transceiver off when you know you are out of range of the mobile network. Turning the mobile wireless transceiver off prevents the BlackBerry smartphone from continually attempting to locate the mobile network, which uses a lot of battery power.
