Android Central Question
Like some others on this site, I've had trouble with app storage. Due to meager internal storage, I place as many apps onto my SD card as I can. However, after some apps update (like Facebook, Messenger, or Netflix), they return to internal storage for whatever reason. As a result, I've been forced into a routine of sending all movable apps to my SD Card, like some digital Exodus.
I've done this several times now, but today was different. I went through the same process, like always, but today a glitch (?) appeared. I buffered movement for several apps and left my phone for some time. When I returned to find a deluge of notifications remained, each made to signal their respective app's movement, I sensed something fishy. All were past 90%, supposed proof that the process remained undone. Yet, a check within the storage settings suggested that the process was complete; app properties displayed 'in external storage' with obvious clarity. "Moving [app]" the notifications still said, in mocking concert.
As of writing this, at least an hour has passed since the "glitch" appeared. I'm still left with a screen full of "moving [app]" notifications, and I don't even know if it's a bug. I know that most notifications disappear after a restart, and I wonder if these are any different. Yet, I also know that data can easily corrupt, especially when interrupted by shutdowns. This entire move-to-SD-card process was trouble at the start, and I'm a finger press away from just MOVING ON. Please tell me a power down is no big deal.
