If you want to save memory space on your Samsung Galaxy Tab, you can move apps to the SD card. Just perform these steps.
Note: Apps that you move to the SD card cannot be accessed when the device is mounted to a computer.
- From the home screen, press the “Menu” button below the screen.
- Select “Settings“.
- Tap “Applications“.
- Tap “Manage Applications“.
- Choose the app you wish to move.
- Tap the “Move to SD card” button.
Of course, this process can become tedious if you wish to move all of your apps to the SD card. Luckily there is an app called SDMove available at the Google Play app store that will do this for you. From SDMove you can simply tap Menu > Move All and all apps that can be moved will be.
If you ever decide you want an app to be moved back to the device memory, you can repeat steps 1-5 and choose “Move to device“.
FAQ
Why don’t I have the option to move my app to the SD Card?
Not all apps can be moved. This could be because the developer made the app that way or because it’s an app that’s included on the ROM of the tablet. Also ensure an SD card is inserted to your device and your device is not plugged into a computer while performing the above steps.

When I move stuff from the tablet to SD card, the stuff shows on the SD card and the tab. Then if I try to delete it from the tab it automatically is deleted from the tab as well. What is the sense of the memory card if the stuff stay on the tab as well? Because I keep running out of space on the tab and can’t move my stuff to the SD alone.

How do I make my sd card a default storage? I can no longer download anything or update my current apps because I no longer have space on my device.
