i tried to install a small app, it is probably only about 2 mb, but before i tried to install it, google play store told me that my tablet is full, i need to free maybe over 250 mb. before that, i already uninstalled probably over 100 mb apps already.

what is the reason for this?
 
Is your tablet almost full? What does it show in Settings -> Storage & USB?
If you're within a couple of GB of being completely full then it's time to do some cleanup.
 
yes, it is full daily. i had to delete cache, uninstall apps.

it just doesn't make sense if i want to install a 2.5 mb app, and this tablet wants me to delete more than 200 mb in order to install it.

sometimes before i connect it online, it has more than 1 gb free space, but after the connection, it becomes full again almost in minutes.
 
Please tell me how it becomes full in minutes. All by itself? Just trying to understand because I have never had this happen.

I'm willing to bet that if you boot into Safe mode this weird behavior won't happen. Sounds to me like there's a 3rd party application causing your problems.
 
this tablet can't be charged easily just recently, so i can hardly ever use it daily before the battery power is gone and it shuts down by itself.

for the time that i was able to use it, for example, one time, when it started, i see that it had about 25 gb offline, once it started to get online, it almost instantly goes up to 26 gb.
