S9 Storage Issues

[SandiM]

I'm getting storage issues every time apps update. In the Shared Internal Storage view it's adding photos and apps that Ive moved to my SD card as being in internal storage. This needs to be addressed in an update because this is ridiculous.

For example, all the photos shown here are actually on my SD card NOT my internal storage.

Hi SandiM,

Can you open My Files app, scroll down and click Analyze Storage button. Screenshot your internal storage? Thanks.

"Other' is still calculating. why the apps still show here is puzzling me since when I go to each app the ones I can move say they are on the SD card

Obviously is not your photo and video problem. You have 58GB apps. You need to remove some apps to free up the space. Unfortunately you cannot move apps to SD card anymore. Therefore,  uninstall some apps that you are not in use or rarely use may help.

Can't move apps to the SD card anymore? That's ridiculous. I'm not happy with that.

[SandiM]

My SD card isn't full.

I was reading Tallman, oops :). no you can't move apps to SD cards. I guess the only way is to delete some apps you don't use. next phone get an 128 model:)

Crazy. Very annoying that you can't move them anymore especially since it's telling me it is moving them

I am planning on removing a bunch of media off my sd card today but I still have around 20Gigs of room on the SD card.

Sorry to hear that. You can check if your phone let you do it or not.

Open Settings -> Apps -> Click on 3rd party apps 

See if you have the button "Move to SD card" If you do, you can move that app to SD Card. If not, that means the app developer or the system not allow you to do it. Since I got my Note8, I have no seen this features on my for at least 4 years now. I hope it still happen on some small storage phones. Check it out and see if you have that option or not. If not, you need to clear some apps from your internal storage.
