I've only gone out of my way to download 9 other apps: iBooks, iHeartRadio, Netflix, Nook, Kindle, Sudoku, Goodreads, Comics, and Camera+.
I mainly use my iPad as an ereader, so I basically use iBooks 90% of the time. I also have a subscription of The New Yorker, which is in Newsstand, along with The New York Times (which was there by default).
And yet this is all the space they take up:
Isn't that a LOT of space being taken up by just a few additional apps? I know people who have pages and pages of apps, but I barely have the second page filled!
Before all this, I tried erasing about five other applications that I never used, yet the memory stayed exactly the same.
I was going to add my music library to the tablet, but then it went way over capacity (I have 1,329 songs).
Does anybody know why my apps are taking up so much room?
Edit: By comparison, my iPhone 4S has 48 apps, and this is the breakdown:
Both my iPad and iPhone have 16GB. I just don't get why the apps are taking up so much space on the tablet and so little on the phone.

Why Do My Apps Take Up So Much Space Mac Os
Aug 31, 2016 on the 'about my Mac' storage info, it says that 'apps' takes up 88gb worth of space but when I right click the 'applications' folder to see how much space it takes up, it says 10gb. So why is it taking up so much space according to the system info? I was reading around and some people said they had hundreds of apps installed and it only took. Mac users often freak out when they look at the Storage settings in About This Mac and find that System storage takes up way more space than they think it should. However, if they wait a bit the storage meter will continue to calculate what takes up space and allocate it to iCloud Drive and other things. Even once this is done, a fairly large System storage amount can be accounted for. Sep 11, 2012 Welcome to Mac-Forums. You must Register (free) before posting.

May 26, 2020 The Storage pane of About This Mac is the best way to determine the amount of storage space available on your Mac. Disk Utility and other apps might show storage categories such as Not Mounted, VM, Recovery, Other Volumes, Free, or Purgeable. Don't rely on these categories to understand how to free up storage space or how much storage space is. Feb 03, 2020 Hello, My mac is only a MacBook Air, and i only have 121 GB in total, and my system takes up to 80 GB, and now i only have 4.68 GB left, I always check for duplicate files and I have none, I am not sure why this is happening.

I've been behind on downloading the new OS update and was going to do it today, but it told me I didn't have enough space. When I looked, the system itself is taking up by far the most space of anything on my computer.
