Anyone else have issues running out of memory pretty quickly? Even with not that many Apps installed?

It happened to me a few weeks ago on a 4k (not the Max), but I read now that is because of a update they pushed. Amazon does know about it and trying to figure a solution. In some of the forums, some say just let it do its thing for days and it might come back on its own. I let it go for about 5 days before I gave up and wrote it off and put a DOA sticker on it for a trade in offer at some point since I hate the very limited storage anyway. What took my notice was it is not just me and the problem is more wide spread. I tried wired connections too. I suspect the update crashed do to some storage issue.
I know folk have ways to prevent updates. I kind of wish I knew more about that a month or 2 ago..
Lastly I must mention there seems to be a refresh coming to the whole line. Most think it will happen right before the October Prime day (dates not known yet). Lets hope at least double the current 8gb.

Unfortunately I don't have a way to hardwire mine, or an OTG cable to see if safe mode works. Even if I did, we shouldn't have to spend the time or effort to fix their mistake (even though I would, just so I didn't have to deal with them).
I'll be contacting Amazon and telling them to replace it.

Like I said "If" it can be proved a forced update killed them, then we are due something. I bet they offer 20% off a new one. hehehe.
If you get any where, be sure to drop a note on the outcome.
After a bit more thought, I think I did at one time have a external USB stick on that one. I recall to set up the drive 50% adoptable and 50% fat32 you had to run some commands via adb or putty (I forget). I am sure I have factory reset it several times since. I wonder if that hanky panky might be the cause.

I won't be giving them a choice. They broke it, they bought it.
Considering there's an article about it on PCMag, it's only a matter of time before it becomes more mainstream and they can't just ignore it.

We'll have to see as more people contact support, but it looks like it shouldn't be too difficult to get these devices replaced (although my guess is that unless you specifically tell them you want it replaced, they'll try to upsell you with a discount - typical Amazon).
