My Samsung galaxy amp 2 has only 8 GB and I don't even use half the apps the phone comes with and they take up all my storage. So i have an SD card but i put it into my phone but whenever i try to open up my gallery, it tells my to do to my files and delete some files and when I go to my storage, it says i almost used it all but in my SD card below the internal storage, it says #.##MB used of 59.48GB. Theres so much GB, do i have to activate it somehow?Then when i click on SD card, it shows unmount and format, am i supposed to click something?...Please help, Thank You!
