3)   Move Apps to SD Card

Another useful way to free up space on your android device is to move apps to SD card. Most of the apps can be moved to SD card. You can manually move each app to SD card and install an app to move all apps to SD card. One thing to note here is that you can only move those apps to SD card where the developer has added support for this.

For this, go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications

Select the app and tap to know the app details. Now tap the “Move to SD card” option and free up space on your Android device.
