Moving Android cache to SD Card
Posted on30 November 2011

Some Android devices, which have little internal memory or when download data and application data fills the
cache area, will issue “insufficient space” warning. A quickworkaround would be to move device cache and/or
application caches to SC card.
It is assumed that the device is already rooted and a way to run commands on the device is available. i.e “TerminalEmulator” app, Android ADB.
Basically, the idea is to create a cache folder on SD card, remove the cache folder on internal memory and then
link the internal folder to the folder on SD card so SDcard space is used.
