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.

I've spent hours "moving" apps to the SD card the last couple weeks. So many say they are on the SD card but obviously aren't. Now if I could just remove the preloaded apps I don't use!

For example, Instagram says it's stored on the SD card but it is showing up on my Internal storage

Thanks everyone.

Hi SandiM, Please note that even when the applications are moved to the SD card, the application data will be updated to the internal storage. I suggest you to uninstall the applications that are not in use to extend the available space.

I don't see anything as a solution to be honest. I'm very unhappy that I suddenly had to delete apps.
