You can easily move date by connecting to a PC.

Also if you don’t have a PC,then

1.long press on the folder you need to move. [You will get a cut o

symbol]

2.Now go to SD card and open he folder where you want to move

3.Just below the notification area, you could see a paste symbol.

4. Click on it to start transfer.

Go to

Settings>Storage

then you could see where you had actually loss the space.

and any one click rooting tool is not working for me .

.

so can you please solve this issue too

.

help me waiting for your replay

jinsonkv

November 26, 2014

One click root will work only for some models. Unfortunately you

include in that.

So without rooting you cant increase internal storage by taking a

SD card.

I had searched a lot for finding the root tools for your device, but

Bad Luck.
