Is there any way to transfer apps from internal storage to SD card. Phone storage running low.

I have a 16 GB SD card in my Vibrant and when I plug it in, I am unable to differentiate which card is mounted. I'm sick of manually checking each card. Because of my internal storage being 16 GB, I haven't seen much need to move apps to SD.
Can I rename my storage to internal and SD card without adverse effects?
I am on the newest update (yeah, stupid me, whatever). I moved some apps to the SD card, and downloaded some big games (GTA 3, GTA Vice City) but noticed that after the download, there was significantly less space on the internal storage but barely any of the storage space on the SD card went down. It says that the SD card data and the SD card app has >1 GB there for each of the applications, but the total (along with other apps) in the actual SD card is something around 800mb, and my storage space in my internal storage has decreased by a few gigabytes.
Is this issue because android is allocating most of it to the internal storage folder /sdcard instead of the external card?
Also, is there any way to get Google Play Music to download songs to the SD card instead of internal storage?
When I move apps to my SD card they still continue to use space (albeit less) on my internal storage. Several appear to keep data in the internal storage.
For example, I use the link2sdl app. Even when "moved" to the SD card, it still uses 7.3MB of internal storage for the application (it was 24.6MB before I moved it to the SD card), and 18.7 MB for Data. Is there any way to move an app COMPLETELY onto the SD card?
Hello everyone, I would like to extend my internal storage. I am using Android M on my XT1562.
I tried to use my SD card has an internal storage but unfortunately it stops formatting at 30%. After a reboot the SD card is shown as internal storage but if I open ES file explorer for example the storage capacity is still 10gb (which is the capacity of the internal storage). So I will have to use it as an external storage as before.
Is there any option to change for example the download folder/the install folder for new apps to the external SD card? Or do I need to root the phone?
Another question is if I could use my SD card as internal storage how about transferring files to my PC? How does that work?

Once you format your SD card as internal storage, it can not be seen in any file manager. Also it cannot be seen on pc. Although you can move data through settings which shows your internal and SD card storage but you can only view it through by going to settings.
You cannot the change the location of apps to be installed in Android 6.0

Once you have set the SD card to internal any apps that you install that could previously be moved to the SD card will install to the SD card, any apps that could not be previously install to the SD card will install on the internal memory.
