Default [Q] Installation folder on SD card?

Hello, noob here!

I've searched this forum for an answer but had no luck, so here goes...

I'm considering installing about 2 dozen apps to my phone's SD card in order to leave internal memory available for more important stuff.

Now, I've installed a couple of them already and what I've noticed is that not most of them create their own app folder at SD card root. So if I proceed to install all the selected apps I'll end with a pretty messy root folder - and that's not counting all the data (folders) I would migrate later on.

Could someone please tell me if it's possible to pre-define a folder on my SD card where all apps would be installed?

Presumably, it's just a path alteration so shouldn't be too hard.

Right... ?

Thanks!

Nope.. you can't modify the location...

Those folders normally being used to store cache data or anything. The file won't be huge...

You can still delete if you like it. Not effect much. Do check what is contain inside.
