Adopted storage not freeing up enough internal storage
Hi.
Just got myself a shield k1 tablet. Very nice it is too.
However, I've got a 64GB card in it and I opted for adopted storage.. I've installed 12 games and now my internal storage has 10GB of games despite every game possible having sdcard selected as storage location (2 games don't have a storage location option).
So I need to work out my best next move...
Currently I'm not rooted: will I need root to move apps to SD card if I change the storage method to "normal" external sdcard?
Is there a way to back up the games to my PC so I don't have to download them all over again (on my slow broadband)?

I have now found out why adoptable storage wasn't freeing up space on the internal storage:
I had to go to settings--> Storage--> SD card --> overflow menu (3 dots) and then "enable" (or something similar, can't remember the exact wording)
The tablet then moved all the data over to my SD card! Yay!
