Don't delete it. Very bad idea. If you want to store pictures/music on the SD card, you'll have to choose that within the apps you use, rather than internal storage. If you want to move apps to external SD, you'll need to be rooted and use an app like Link2SD.

Games installed on external sd card

Hey guys,
Is there a way to install my games (gameloft) into the external sd card instead of the internal?
You can partitian your SD card to store apps on it and transfer them from your internal to external memory

If you're rooted you can go to Rom Manager and do it there... You can go into manage apps and move them to your MicroSD card... There's also an app called app2sd that can move them there as well

Apps2sd on our 10.1

Queations to all....
Should a App2sd app be able to work on our Notes???
The reason im asking is because I had issues getting my 64g card to mount (ended up having to flash a recent OTA update from Samfirmware.com). I then wanted to move some of my apps to the 64g card but App 2 SD from the market says -
"The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary extremal storage is emulated. Moving app to SD may not be supported by this device. "
Is this normal? I have never come across this before on any Android device before! Or is it something to do with the 64g card? or the Notes file tree?

Yes it's normal. Samsung make some different approach here.
In my perspective when you used to choose "move to sdcard" in apps manager, the apps move from internal memory to internal storage (/sdcard).
(External microSD card is not on discussion so far, im only talking about tablet internal storage).
Now by default in Samsung devices all apps are going to /sdcard, so you dont have to move them beacuse the are alreday there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The solution for me (I have white SGN 10.1 16GB) is use DirectoryBind, i can have 20+ GB of games in external microSD Card.

Think your correct, makes sense anyway!!!
Could you elaborate more on this directory Bind thing you mentioned? ??

DirectoryBind main feature is to link/bind folders with data that are in external micro sd card, to empty folders with the same name that must be in /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/Android/obb. So games and apps thinks they're using internal storage but in fact data is in external micro sd card. This way you save the 11 gb reserved for storage.

App to SD card?

Hello everybody, after selected external SD card as default is there any option to move app data to the external SD? Or I have to do manually with a file manager? And is not possible to do it with all apps, is there a way to know which app data can be on SD card and which not? And did anybody noticed a slower device with SD as primary memory?
Settings/Storage
Under storage setting you should be able to choose default location to internal or SD Card

Unfortunately, there isn't a supported way to move apps to SD card. I have not tried out 3rd party apps from the Play Store either. That could work.
The default location set to SD card just ensures downloads, pictures, videos, music etc., have SD card as the default location to save and not for individual apps.
You might try Link2SD from the Play Store to move your apps to external sd. You'll need to add a second partition to your sdcard though first, but you can do that with another app called Aparted and you'll want to backup any data you have on your sdcard to your PC first too, as partitioning wipes everything.

Good luck!

If your android only shows internal storage to install apps then it installs in your internal storage. You can move it after in SD card by using app2sd or similar apps.

I think the internal storage is your default storage that your android all data save. Install apps to your internal storage then move to SD card by using app2sd or link2sd apps.

How to move your games to your sd card?

I can't update my codm because my phone's storage is full. Can someone help me transfer the data of my game to my sd card so that I can update it? I already downloaded link2sd, but I don't know how to root my phone. I also want to ask if all the data will be transfered to the sd card if it's moved.

Open the Settings app.
Go into Apps & notifications.
Access the app you want to move to the SD card.
Select Storage.
If the app supports the feature, you will see an option to change where the app is stored. Go ahead and change it to the inserted SD card.

With Android 6 the Adoptable Storage feature ( allows to use external SD-card as internal storage memory ) was introduced. Check whether your phone's Android supports it.
If, then you can consider yourself lucky.
I don't have one on my realme c3, what should I do?
The Realme C3 comes with either 32GB or 64GB internal storage memory. CODM requires 2GB free internal storage memory, AFAIK. Wondering what are the space hogs not allowing to grant CODM the 2GB needed?
Unlock your Developer options and check the option to make all applications movable to SD card.

OP's question was how to move an app's data to SD-card, NOT how to move an app to SD-card.
Thanks for clarifying but I don't think that's possible anyway.
