topic CANNOT TRANSFER SOME DATA STORAGE TO SD CARD FROM GAMES in C Series

Transferring apps to sd card

Pp30 — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 13:47:06 GMT

Hi

I am running short on the internal storage, so I tried to transfer some of the apps to the sd card. I have about 5 gb of apps.
When I did so, the internal storage did get some free space but it is not fully freed of the app.

Eg. When I uninstalled the Google play news stand app my internal storage was 12 gb used. When I installed it back ( in internal memory) it became 12.6 gb used. When I transferred it to sd card it became 12.5 gb used, even though it should ideally be back to 12 gb.

Why is this so. How can I fix it. I have c5 ultra marshmallow.
Thanks!

As some users siad, impossible to transfer apps data files into SD card without root, possible just transfer some apps, but and here is possible to transfer only these apps which possible to transfer, there are some apps like Kaspersky antivirus, Nba 2K17 games and ect which impossible to transfer at all into SD card without root. Without root how i know impossible to uninstall Google Play News (Really is app Google Play News? Maybe you mean Google Play or Google News app?), anyway i'm little suprised how you did that, rooted smartphone and than uninstall app? Coz most Google apps impossible without root to uninstall at all

You wrote, "...won't help?..." But say me, how to help you? To insert bigger memory microsheme in smartphone? We can just advise to install less apps, that's all. You have 5GB space only for apps, it's really very much i think If say true, maybe i can't install all games which i want too or some biggest apps, but way out is to play much less games, try often to change it and ect., one game play from beginning to end, then try another and ect. I don't think that u using all apps in the same time and all time

If is limited memory space you will not change that without root, which by the way can void your warranty and you can loose support from Sony, also and here

So be reconciled that 11 GB (on my version of C5 Ultra Dual with Lolipop 5.1) is all memory which you have
