My Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky (Only 16GB storage around 11GB used up for the OS and Samsung default installs; a lot of it I will never use.) says that it has insufficient space even though there should still be plenty of room left. I don't know if this still has to do with emulated SD on Samsung smartphones, but that is about all I gathered from googling. I read a couple posts that suggested that only a small part of the apps/games are moved when you move them to the SD Card. I verified that even after moving the apps/games to my SD Card, a large portion was still left on the device storage. I can't even get updates now, without uninstalling, apps/games I want to keep progress off(no account linking).
My trouble is that I don't want to uninstall what I have on there, but I need more space so that I can try out other apps/games. I wouldn't mind getting rid of all the crapware/bloatware that is default on my device....the apps that I will never use, but from my understanding that procedure would require root and I am not near advanced enough to attempt that (well, I just want to possess advanced understanding before I do something like that, so I will have no regrets. I know there are one-click root apps available.). I know that I could format the SD card so that apps think it is all part of the main device storage, but if anything ever happens, I would have to reset my device to factory and lose a ton or find a tedious way to get everything backed up and restored later before doing it.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to ACTUALLY move these games/apps to the SD card to free up space? Or is that not really possible without rooting my device?
