@Toya77, you need a task manager that allows you to close applications. Look at System Panel Lite. I personally like it as it is free but does not have Ads in it. However, Android is the type of OS that does not need for you to cleanup after it, or keep closing apps. I would suggest that you try leaving the apps alone and see how it works out for you. If you don't see any performance or battery life issues, I would leave them alone. A task manager is still a good idea to kill an app that may be misbehaving or malfunctioning.

 

One more thing, if battery life is an issue, I will suggest that you first look at all your data sync settings rather than apps first.

 

Hope this helps!

To add to Nimiaj, I totally agree with them. I use the same program but only to see how the system is going. If you use a program to close apps, many apps will come right back and then the Task Killer will kill it again. All this does is kill your battery quicker.

 

The apps you see, 'Running', when you use System panel Lite, you will see resources are not being used. In addition the OS is based on Linux and it likes memory being used.
