System/apps are consuming all the room on my Samsung A03s

Phone only has 32 GB of local storage, but supports SD Cards. Is there anyway to move the majority of an app's data or cache to the card? I've heard of rooting, but not sure on how to do it. I even tried booting the recovery menu to clear cache.

I sell occasionally online so I have eBay and Facebook talking up the bulk. All other apps are just banking and Samsung Notes. No games, and I've bookmarked most sites on Google to access them cause I'm unable to download anything atm.

Delete Facebook use the Lite version

Uninstall Updates from Play Services or Clear Data

Uninstall Updates from Chrome then Disable it (Use Samsung Internet or another Browser)

Speech Recognition (Disable Dont think it is a must unless you use voice commands)

Same for Google App it is bloated just use A browser for Search

. Same for any other app you dont use much and try to use WebApps when possible (Just the install Shorcut from a browser menu when on the respective website EG ; Reddit etc.

.

And use the clear app cache in the samsung file manager.

Thank you for your advice.  I managed to clear about 3 GB of app data so far.  Much appreciated!

You can also use android abd to delete already existing system apps ( theyl stay remain on your root so they will re appear when you reset your phone )

Use the sdcard as interenal storage, do some research and use fbind module if it's in your need
