i'm trying to move some apps that were installed on my sd card to my internal storage. but it says i don't have enough space when i have 9-10 GBs free.
i'm on the latest update. (2017-01-30 nightly)
any ideas?
fixed. formatted my sd card to an external.
now, i don't have to worry about the icons disappearing when i restart, either.

I downloaded Talking Santa for the kids but it won't let me play it. A screen keeps popping up that there is not enough space on my SC card but I have 50 gigs of free space. My knowledge is very limited but I unmounted and mounted again and that didn't do anything. I'm also getting this error when I try to move an app to my SD card using app 2 sd.
The app seems to have extra files it needs to download when you open it. It looks like it is trying to put those files on the internal storage. Try deleting some files off your internal SD not external.
This phone does a stupid thing where the internal memory is split into two partitions: Internal and SD card. Apks go to internal and data to SD card. But SD card is really just another subsection of your internal memory! Nothing actually goes to your external removable SD card when you move apps to the "SD card". This is a problem that I know no solution to. Any help?
Haven't had an issue with apps not going to SD. I have noticed that it does leave the empty folder behind on my internal SD.
When I installed stuff, I get a toaster that says I have 1.xx MB of storage left...... on a brand new 64GB SD card, lol.
Is that because I formatted the card to Fat32 instead of exFat?
Can I just ignore the toaster?
i've been getting that on my note 2 about the internal storage. there's 4GB free and 12GB on the SD card. it's only when i'm updating market apps.
I've been getting the same message. One thing that I've noticed is that within the Managing Apps section of Settings, the category listing of SD Card has about 12 apps listed but when I go to the app details it asks if I want to move to SD. Pretty strange...especially since I haven't installed any apps to the SD.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the card is 64GB then you need exFAT to address all 64GB. I ran out of app space on my first unit and it started rebooting. I returned and have way more apps intalled on my new one with no issues. Hope this helps.
I get this message too and I have no SD card installed. I can't find any indication anywhere else in the device that any part of my storage is limited to the insanely small amount that is shown in that pop up after installing an app. By all other accounts I have at least half of the storage capacity left on this tablet.
Hello everyone,
Since a few days my backups fail and when I took a look it said: SD Card inaccessible or insufficient space. (the app I use is EaseBackup)
I still have 48 Gb free on my external memory and 6 on my internal, so insufficient space does not seem to be a problem.
I am aslo able to acces all files and folders on the internal and external memory and move them around, so the SD Card is not defective.
Does anyone know what might be the problem and how I can fix it?
Hi there, i just got myself a moto z play and am trying to format my sd card as internal storage.
I keep getting the error not enough space, after formatting to internal and trying to move over data, even though the sd card is empty. The card works as i have tested it by moving my pictures and music onto the card and it seems to work fine, then i backed them up and tried to re-format it back to internal storage and it still says not enough free space when i try to click the "move now" option after formatting for internal.....
any ideas would be great. thanks.
BTW its a stock phone only running nova launcher. not rooted.
What about sd card spec, share the technical spec with make and model
Hi,
I know it is not such a good idea to use an SD card as internal memory. But unfortunately it has now happened.
I use a Motorola G5s with Android 8.1, 64 GByte SD card as internal memory. Now I would like to switch to a new Android and backup everything via the Google cloud before (I have tried to use the backup in the settings of Whattsapp). Both Whatsapp backups and ThreemaBackups abort, probably because there is too little memory. The internal shared memory is given as 13.04 used by 32 GB and the SD as 63.06 used by 64 GB. I have removed Apps & Videos, only the internal shared memory becomes free. However, the backup problem remains.
I already accessed the folder of external memory via the Android settings and deleted the video, but they were right back, so they were not deleted. I could only delete them via PC; but the memory space was not freed up in the SD card memory either, but in the internal memory.
It seems to me that the SD card memory is too full, but I can't free up any storage space there either?
What can I do? How can I make Whats App etc. find enough memory again?
Kind regards
Alex
Hi,
I try to migrate the data. Migration was aborted with error "not enough memory"; all data still there, only no improvement.
Does anyone know what I can do? SD formatted as internal, not migrated, migration aborted. Deleting files won't make things any better. We can't store anything on the device anymore, accordingly no backups can be made using the Whatsapp app
