Sometimes you need to move an application from your microSD card back to your Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 system memory. This can be for any number of reasons. For example you might have moved Angry Birds to your SD card, which we actually discuss in another tutorial. Then you may discover that the application runs a little more slowly, or that you needed to take the SD card out, but were unable to play Angry Birds without it.

It's times like you need to move the application from the microSD card back to the Tab S2 system memory. This tutorial will show you exactly how to move those applications back to system memory from the SD card.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_96069.jpg]]

#From the Application Manager, tap once on the back button to go back to the Application Menu.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_25129.jpg]]
#Swipe left or right at the top of the menu. Look for the SD card section.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_50293.jpg]]
#Once there you will see all of the applications that are on your SD card.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_23415.jpg]]
#In our case, Angry Birds is the only application on the SD card because it is the only one with the green checkbox. Tap one time on Angry Birds. [[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_19265.jpg]]
#We will be taken to the application information menu, where we will simply press one time on 'Move to Device Storage'.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_58173.jpg]]

==Make Sure Moved Apps Work==
#Press the home button one time to go back to the home screen. Remember that some apps might not work when moved. In such cases, you may need to reinstall the app. Because of this, it is always best to check and make sure the app works after moving it.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_77644.jpg]]
#From the home screen, tap on Angry Birds to confirm that it is in fact working.[[Image:Move Apps from Memory Card to System Memory for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2_20883.jpg]]

#Congratulations! You have successfully moved an application from your microSD card back to the system memory.
