Moving data to SD card

[Mogalot55]

Is it possible to move the android system and miscellaneous files onto the sd card?

I am constantly running out of memory?

Not that i am aware of. You can move apps to an sd card - settings - apps. Look at each app in turn and see if move to sd card is enabled. Delete unwanted apps. Be forensic. Move any media (films photos music) to offline storage. Clear cache as you inspect each app to see if it will move to sd card. Check if there any unwanted temp files using any file manager and remove.

Hello Paul,

On Es File Explorer you need to click on Tools then turn on Root Explorer option and then you will be able to transfer Apps from main internal memory to your External memory.

How do I move apps to external SD card once I turn on file explorer? Did anyone use internal 2 external app yet and did it work?

I've not come across Root Explorer being turned on in ES File Explorer effecting the ability to move applications to other storage media. Has anyone else taken this approach and had it work?
