Once you have downloaded the app open it then look for clear junk files and select it now you will be amazed at just how many junk files applications can leave behind on your fire HD tablet.

Try Not To Use SD Cards For Storing Apps On

As you may know, most amazon devices don’t come with much storage on them this is true for both the amazon fire tablets and also amazon firesticks, amazon cube TV, and Fire TVs.

But with the Fire HD, you get the option to use an external SD card by plugging it in your Fire HD 8 but this is not the most ideal solution especially if you are loading apps onto it as this will make the fire HD run slow when using the apps and in general.

This is because the read and write speeds can be much slower using SD cards as opposed to using the internal memory built in the amazon device. Speeds can go down x35 times slower depending on the model of your Fire HD when you are using an SD card.

If you just want to store things on the SD card such as music, videos, and photos this is fine but don’t install apps on there.

The solution to this is to simply keep an eye on your firestick internal storage and keep it at least 25% free at all times and delete any apps you don’t necessarily need to keep the fire HD 8 running at fast speeds.

Turn Off Alexa

We have heard some reports of Alexa making the fire HD 8 run slower so if you don’t use it a lot there is a way to turn it off to keep the tablet running at optimum speeds.
