Honestly, the whole "move to card" crap is annoying. I've found that some apps claim to have migrated, but the amount of space they take up on the internal memory is far larger than it claims. With 64 GB (vs anemic 32 GB) you should be able to leave all the apps on the internal storage and only put the photos, music, and video on the external.
YouTube and others are equally misleading. When you tell them to save stuff to the SD, it claims to be doing that, but the app's data size on the internal storage obviously includes huge chunks of video.

Yea, this is especially true with large games. Only way to move everything is by using adoptable storage. Which I wish Samsung allowed, because you can still choose what to put on internal or external.
