My OSF is rooted, with Android version 2.2, Swedish Spring RLS5. Like everybody else, I started running low on phone memory, so I followed the instructions here

How to move almost all Android apps to SD card (no root required)

which helped - for a while. Now I'm finding that some apps are badly-behaved, because although the apps themselves are now on the SD card, their data files are still being put on phone memory. How can I stop this happening? For instance Facebook, which doesn't seem to have a Setting for this.

I've seen a lot of tips around the web on moving apps to SD card, but nothing on moving the data files as well. Does anyone know better than me?
