I've improved my situation. My problem before was that 'everywhere I 
looked' I could not find any stored data to delete. So I decided to 
uninstall apps which I had no use for, particularly those which were in 
Mb instead of kb. A number which had Mb usage which could NOT be 
uninstalled I learned should/could be disabled instead of uninstalled 
and recover internal.

Doing all that managed to free up more than a gig, which turns out to be 
very helpful in an 8G device that was using almost all that to just boot.

I have 2 8G desktops (both principally running linux/es or occsly W7) 
which don't need to use anywhere near their 8G; I don't see why the 
android needs to 'use' 8G before it even does anything.

I also have an old RPi 3B running Raspbian which only has 1G and I can 
do 'all I want to do' with it, being 'respectful' of not engaging in 
ram-eating behaviors.
