Hello, I am having a bit of a problem with .obb files and my internal storage, and any help you can give would be appreciated.

To begin, I must say that I am pretty much a complete novice when it comes to rooting, modding, and anything else having to do with nay unconventional use to android tablets, although I am an experienced pirate and know how to install modded games/apps and where to find them.

That being said, I did download adb, and I figured out how to use it to make a 128gb micro sd card function as internal memory - and as my only current tablet is an ASUS Z300M with only 16gb of space (and most of that taken up with bloatware), I am happy about that. But I have run into a problem - while I can install or move apps or games to the Micro SD card, the .obb files remain in the main hard drive of the tablet. I like to download lots of games, so this is killing me.

I have heard that I can use Magisk to move the .obb files into the Micro SD card and have the tablet actually recognize them there, but honestly, I have absolutely no clue how to do that, and all the guides I have seen on the web just send me down rabbit holes talking about twrp, flashing, fastboot, and other things that make it seem like anything I try will wipe my tablet completely or direct me to a site where they want me to take a survey and steal my credit card information. Can some kind person please walk me through the steps on how to use Magisk (or anything else) to get my ASUS Zenpad Z300M to recognize obb files on my micro sd card so I don't run out of space multiple times a day anymore?

Thank you n advance for any help you can give.

That isn't how it works here, we don't lead anyone by the hand step by step and we don't spoonfeed anyone. You do your own searching and reading and then ask questions about what you don't understand.

First, as the guides instruct, you can flash TWRP custom recovery onto the device and then flash Magisk to root the device using TWRP, then make your modifications to your .obb files.

Or, you can flash a modified boot.img and then install Magisk to root the device, then modify your .obb files.

Choose the method you are most comfortable with, research how the method works and then ask questions about the parts of that method that you don't understand.
