How to recover space after unsuccessful moving apps to SD card using Root Explorer

[Deleted User]

I'm new to rooting. The apps didn't work after moving it to SD Card. I "temp root" my phone and moved all apps in "data" folder to SD Card using Root Explorer. Unfortunately, the phone restarted. I don't know what caused it. My intention was to simply try Root Explorer that's why I used "temp root" and not permanent root. Thus I wasn't able to "unroot" it. My understanding is that it'll go back to previous state because it was a "temp root". All the files were successfully moved to SD Card but then the shortcuts/links to the menu disappeared. The apps were still listed in "Manage Applications" without the correct icons. Using ES File Explorer, I clicked on an "appname.apk". This installed the app to phone's room and appended "2" on its filename like "appname2". I'm guessing that the system has a reference to the originally installed apk. I tried moving the rest of them but still the links to the menu and icons never came back. I re-installed some, removed the apk manually and uninstalled the other apps using app manager but it never somehow free up space. I wonder if I have to clear Davlik cache. I'm using Android 2.2 and I have some app already installed on my SD Card.

Hope you can help.

I dont get your question but from what I know
A)You moved all apps from /data to sdcard effectively destroying the link
Temp root is not virtual root .It is one day pass ..Whatever you do with virtual root is permanent.
Go to recovery mode and clear data partition.
If you ever want to move data to SD card .
Use dual partition SD card and use Link2SD app.

No. Also, anything from /system wouldn't free any internal memory for you.
