My phone keeps loading launcher when i press the home button

I have an Alcatel one touch pop astro. I have close the 100 mb left. I have a 1.5 GB phone. It does load my launcher often. Even with launcher apps. Some help?

Welcome to Android Central! Sorry, but I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. What do you mean by "loading the launcher often"? The Home button is supposed to activate the launcher, because the launcher brings up your homescreen.

Are you saying that even when you have an alternate launcher (like Nova) installed and working, the stock launcher shows up as open in RAM? If that's the case, then go to Settings>Apps>All, and disable the stock launcher app (while you're using an alternate launcher).
