as you can see in the images above, 31MB is still free in internal memory, but you will get more than 50MB free with this method.
Solution:
1. Download you device USB drivers and install them.
3. Chose either 32bit version or 64bit version, as per your operating system
4. Once downloaded, use winrar or winzip to extract files anywhere on your hard drive
5. Then go to the following folder, “adt-bundle-windows-x86adt-bundle-windows-x86sdkplatform-tools”
6. Then Hold Shift button and right click on empty space, and click ” open command window here “
See image below for help

Then go to you phone’s settings > Applications
Then Scroll Down and you will see development option, press it,
and enable USB debugging Option, see in the image below
now go back to home screen , and attache the phone to your computer,
and open minimized command prompt window and type the following command
” adb shell”
and hit enter, you will see $ or # sign
you will see the following message if you did it right
then type “ pm setInstallLocation 2 ” and hit enter
if you typed correctly, nothing will appear on screen, and if you see any error, that mean you missed something. type this command again correctly, or better copy and paste it there.
then Restart your Phone,
Now you will be able to move all your installed apps to SD CARD and you can free your internal memory to get rid of that annoying message, in future all your apps should directly go to SD CARD,
this command sets primary install location to 2, and 2 is SD CARD.
see images below as proof, i have moved all of my apps to SD CARD.
” Move to phone ” this button will appear as “move to SD card” for you, just press it, and it should move your application to your SD card,
to move application, go to settings>Applications>Downloaded
Note: you can’t move default apps to your SD CARD
Those Who Face Any Problem, Post in Comments, i will try to help you out.
update: i managed to move google play services to SDcard :), i have rooted phone .
Nice! thank you. My old Xp box does not right click for command prompt at location so manually change directory (cd.. a few times until you have just c: as a prompt then cd through the directories). Also no encouraging message after typing "adb shell" but prompt changed as promised. Result– future apps install on the Micro SD and my free memory in the phone 87 M ie nearly half full !. Best solution without rooting. I moved Google play services to SD no trouble

nice.. you're life saver… solution is working fine.. but might be bit difficult for non-IT guys
i tried everything, still getting an error
maybe you missing something, your phone rooted or not ?
please check it 1st
the file is an executable not winrar.how do i extract it?
Right click on it you will see extract option
there is no extract option.
Then install it, later you can remove it, or simply download minimal adb and Fastboot, it will also work
