How can I set up my phone to save to the SD card instead of the phone memory?

VERY Low Memory!!!

I have a 16gb G3 with a 32gb memory card. I have all my pics, vids, apps, etc. on the card. Recently, the internal memory on the phone is massively low! In storage, it lists System Data as 4.29gb (I know that's the OS), the rest is bits and pieces but right at the bottom is Program Data at 4.32gb.
Can I get rid of that safely? How can I set up the LG back up to go onto my memory card instead of the phone memory?
I know this is a big question for a noob and I appreciate any help. Please give any answers as plain as possible.
Thank you.

I CAN'T reply for some reason! There isn't a reply button! I'm on Vodafone in the UK.

Welcome to the forums. Can you post screenshots of your storage stats?

Download ES File Explorer from the Play store. In the menu it has an SD Card Analyst feature to allow you to see what folder is taking up the most space. it's amazingly nice to pinpoint where large files are located.


De-rail, what game do you have installed from Gameloft?

Tbh, I don't know. The largest game file I have is Republique from Sabotaj but that's 1gb.
I'll try the file manager, thanks.

Re: VERY Low Memory!!!

I've used the app you recommended but it didn't help me much. I still don't know how to reduce the System Data.
