USB (On board SD) running out of space

OK...so I download some huge file games and have lots of pics and music etc...I had to clear about 800mb to finalize my Nova 2 install. Now I'm out of space.
My question is...the next time I download and it says there is not enough space...what else can I do? I have an external SD card..but it's not putting files on that one instead.
Ideas?

Well its not the internal 2gb mem.. its the internal 16gb that's running out... it won't let me download directly to the external.. keeps saying I don't have enough room on my USB SD.. and I have an external 16gb with about 5gb ready to use

then is even easier
just free up space on the internal SD and move it to your external SD
or you can mount the /sdcard/DOWNLOAD into /sdcard/external_sd/DOWNLOAD for stuff to download to your external SD instead of the internal SD
use the Gameloft reference, instead of that do it for download folder

Can you share that script?

Search "GL to SD" app at Google Play. This app moves your games and some apps from the internal sd memory to your 32gb card- external sd card. Saves you some space.

Great app to use for all that extra data download that some games require

SD card

I am not able to move any of my apps over to my sd card? Is there something I should do so I can do this? Thanks

We don't have an apps2sd. I can't remember if that's just the way ics is set up or if its cause the phone is set up that way. But there is a mod in the dev section that lets you swap internal for external

why do you need to? you have 16gb on internal storage... then an extra sd card for media etc...

Not sure why he needs it, but I would like it as I have two Gameloft apps installed. They're huge and take up gigs of space. Would be nice to move them easily to my 64 gig SD.

Micro sd cards and installing apps

Sorry if this is a rather silly question. But when you insert a micro sd card into the note, does it simply make your storage space expand from the internal memory, so when you install large apps they share the memory or do you have to physically move the apps across to the card. If you know what I mean

you have to move them

Most apps install in system partition but the data of few larger apps is installed in internal memory like gameloft games or data in android folder.
You simply can not move those files to sd card. U need root access and 'movetosd' app to move system data to external MMC.

Help with cleaning up storage

So when I go into the storage on my phone it says 4.5gb of pictures on the internal storage but I have a 64gb memory card and save them to the card. I know some programs like IG and fb will default to internal and I see those folders when I go to ES file explorer.
My problem is that there are only a handful of such photos and I can't figure out where these so called 4.5gb of photos are? Are they in a hidden directory or something? I'd like to clear up some of the storage on the phone as it tells me there's only 500mb available

When im full up I use an app called "drives".. I dont love its UI but it helps me find where the big hog files are...

Connect your phone to the pc and go into your internal storage and move content to a folder on your pc or the ext SD card.
It's faster and neater.
