Move apps from ext to internal memory

I have my external memory formatted as 100% internal memory.

I use it to install all my apps on.

I am able to view a list of my apps on a file explorer.

But cannot figure out how to move them back to internal using a file explorer.

I currently move them with Remote ADB Shell.

FYI: I have already Googled this, to no prevail. :frowning_face:

If anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate if you could post instructions.

The reasoning behind moving the apps is to do updates.

A lot will not allow an update while stored on external memory stick.

Use this command in Remote ADB Shell to move apps to your Firestick internal storage for updates:
pm move-package package name internal

I currently move them with Remote ADB Shell. Looking to move them using a file explorer.

The Firestick 4K runs Fire OS 6, so you have to use the ADB commands.
The X-Plore method works on the Firestick 4K Max because it runs Fire OS 7.
