google play services keeps stopping

[BlueToadenstein]

I keep getting a pop up on my tablet that says "google play services keeps stopping" about every 10 seconds or so. because of this I cant even type anymore (this message was written on my computer then sent to my tablet.)

I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried running the device in safe mode? 

1. Turn the device off.
2. Press and hold the Power key.
3. When Samsung appears on the screen, release the Power key.
4. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
5. Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
6. Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode on the device.

is it just a glitch or is the comment you sent blank?

[BlueToadenstein]

unfortunately, it didn't work

[BlueToadenstein]

Oh yeah, and the reason I couldn't type was because I was using Gboard, which I suppose uses Google play services or something. At least that part is solved

I'm not seeing an option to clear data in Google Play Services. Is there any way to find it?

It should just be right there towards the top. Can you provide a screenshot when you click on storage for Google Play services?

[BlueToadenstein]

Sure!

What happens when you click on Manage Storage?
