photos taking up too much space on MotoG4

0

I am having trouble managing the amount of pictures on my phone and could use some help figuring out where they are saved.

I am using a Moto G4, running Android 7.

About a year ago I installed a 64GB microSD card and set it up as internal storage. I had expected my photos to be saved to this card instead of the 16gb storage that came with the phone. However this doesn't seem to be happening and I am running out of space.

These are my current storage specs:

62,93gb used of 75.61gb

Internal shared storage: 10.46gb used of 10.94gb. Within this category, under apps, Photos takes up 2.56gb

Samsung SD card: 47.41 used of 59.61gb. Within this category, Images contains 35.92gb

My question is how do I locate the 2.56gb worth of files contained in Photos and move them to the Samsung SD card?

I know I can free up space by having google delete pictures older than 30 days (aside: can this default 30 be changed to say, 365?) but my phone only has access to wifi about half the year so I like to have my photos saved to the device.

Under the settings for my Camera app the Save settings are "Storage: Phone" This is greyed out and I can not change it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael
