Insufficient space on Android 6 with SD-Card mouted as internal storage

Question

I've got a Motorola Moto G 3 with Android 6.0
I installed a 32 GB SD-Card and I mounted it as Internal Storage (the new feature in Android 6). After installing some apps I get the error 'Insufficient memory' in the play store. Looking in the memory tab in the settings menu I saw that the internal storage is nearly full but with a filemanager I see that I have 25 GiB of storage left.
I have enabled the device encryption and I have enabled remote debugging in the developers setting.
(UI-tweaker is enabled too)



Has anyone an idea?
Thanks for your help!

Answer

The correct way to do this is navigate to



Settings -> Apps -> select a large app -> Storage



Here it appears some apps have the option to Change the storage, while others do not - developers have to implement this.



If you have a Change button, then a menu appears where you can select the SD card and transfer the app.



I fear you'll have to go through all your large apps manually and try to free up space.



Another option would be to delete the cache of the apps on your internal storage.
