Method 2. Move batch files with Phone Master at once
If all you want to do is move some file categories like images, audio, installation packages, videos, and maybe you want to free up your internal storage by moving large files, Phone Master is here to help you. Phone Master is a pre-installed, system app on TECNO phones that serves as an all-in-one toolbox. You can clear junk files, boost your phone, lock your apps, cool your CPU, save battery and many more with Phone Master. On the same note, you can move files to your microSD card. Here's how to do it. Just ensure you're running the most recent version of Phone Master or get it from the Play Store and follow the steps below.

After that, select the category of files you want to move to the microSD card - like Images, Audio, Video, etc. Tap Move to SD card below the screen to start the process. In case you don't want to transfer all the files in a category, you can tap on each category and select the ones you desire to move. Moving the files may take a few minutes - based on its size and the microSD writing speed. Do not close Phone Master until the process is finished. Do not turn off your screen either.
