You mean the android folder inside the root of your sd card??? Nope, those aren't system files, they're certain apps moved/installed to the sd card to save internal memory... android system is located at the /system partition of your phone's internal memory (NAND)

On the ext partition? One option is to use nandroid--it will make a tar file (I think it's called "SD Data" in the nandroid menu, but I'm not sure). Or if you use linux, you can mount and backup the ext partition directly.
Thanks....

I would like to move my apps from sd internal to external micro sd. I do not know how. 'm desperate, I followed one thousand guides but nothing to do. I have root permissions and also i have installed clockwork in my device. I tried link2sd or app2sd patched but nothing to do. Please help me

It is possible, you just can't move system apps!!! Unless the apps on the internal SD don't show up??
You can move apps to internal SD but you can't move it to external SD

If memory serves, dont you have to use a hidden linux ext4 partion for apps2sd to put the apps in?

Just a question. Are you looking at the sdcard OR sdcard_external sdcard in your file explorer???

Reformat it. Either it is messed up and there is unused space not accounted for, or it is a bogus card and not really 16gb (many China cards are fakes).
What you are seeing is the internal SD card that came with the phone, it's non removable and show up as SD. The 16gb card you put in is listed as external like mhsamma said.
I wanted to free up memory by formatting the internal sd from the settings but im scared if i do that i will loose the operating system

You won't loose the operating system. The Android system is not in the internal SD card, it has it's own place outside of the internal SD card.
Just be sure you keep a backup of the DCIM folder and whatever else you want to keep.
Is there a way to partition the sd card to improve performance?

Yo run nothing required for the system from the SD, so not needed.
