This is really weird ... but I couldn't find it mentioned in the forum.
I've struggled for a long time with having so little space on my phone that usually I can't add any others unless I delete another. *EVERY* time I update my apps I get low memory errors.
When the ability to move apps to SD came out I moved every one that I possibly could. Unfortunately not all apps let you move, and widget apps shouldn't be. At least I could download new apps if they were "SD" ones, but any phone-only ones would have to be weighed up against the existing phone apps.
Recently frustrated with phone space constraints I was looking at the "DiskUsage" app and saw some "on SD" apps taking up space in my valuable phone storage. Weird. I went on a rampage and deleted heaps of my more frivolous apps from the SD card. I got heaps of phone storage back!
I don't really understand why the SD apps were taking up space on the phone app storage. It feels like they "weren't really on the SD" but I expect the answer is more technical than that!
I hope this helps someone get more phone app space back!
