NOTE: All I want to transfer are the PICTURES/Gallery, which is FULL on the device (get "Unable to open app, not enough storage space to open Gallery. Go to My Files, then delete some files" ) I don't do videos or Music or anything else, as simple as possible.

I translated some of what you said that was too advanced for myself, as follows:

* Went to All Files
* Device Storage (where the Pictures in gallery are that I want to transfer to the SD card. )
* Copy (DCIM? to SD card?)
* Deleted DCIM from Device Storage

********STILL can't open images either on Device or on SD card. There are Thumbnails in both, any selection yields the "Unable to open app, delete some files" message.

If you can spare more tips, please do, but KEEP IT SIMPLE for me, thanks!1

Make sure you are not skipping steps. ManiacJoe Feb 2018 #3

Free space: 0.04 out of 8 GB. That's the problem. I did the steps in your post #3 (again) and UTUSN Feb 2018 #4

Does your phone have a USB port, and have you got a desktop or a laptop? friendly_iconoclast Feb 2018 #5

Both are true, connected and it was recognized. But UTUSN Feb 2018 #7
