Greetings friends. I'm wondering if I can move my clusb file to my SD card both on my Android tablet and phone? This would free up space on my internal memory on my tablet and phone. Thanks.

Joseph, welcome to the forums.
It is possible. However, we do not recommend it for two reasons:
1. In general it doesn't save a lot of space. Check the /clusb/ directory size, but unless you have a lot of pictures, you will find the entire DejaOffice file will likely take 2MB to 6MB depending on how many records you have. Depending on your phone vintage, a single picture also takes 2MB to 6MB. So DejaOffice is as big as that blurry picture you forgot to delete.
2. The SD Card is has delayed availability when the phone resets. So some functions like Caller ID, Alarms and some aspects of sync become problematic because they fail to connect.
In the past I was much more encouraging about this. But for phones on Android 8 and higher, it seems to introduce more problems than it solves.
I think there are some Android Apps that can scan your system for large unused files. Beware of sketchy ones because of spyware. But it would be worth doing an analysis of why your phone data is full before you start moving apps that you really use. For my own case, I just archive my photos off to my computer, and that clears off half my phone memory every time. -
Many thanks for your prompt and complete response. Much appreciated. I'll research an appropriate Android App that can scan and clear my system (both phone and tablet). I don't have many photos (and no videos) on my devices but I keep getting the annoying " You're dangerously low on space" constantly. Thanks again. --JoeComment
