If your Windows Phone supports SD card, then you don’t need to erase your phone memory to make space, for downloading and installing new apps. Generally, the default Windows Phone settings are such that it saves every new stuff to Phone memory even if you’ve plugged a SD card. Due to this, the phone memory get filled earlier with addition of new stuff and card remains empty. An average user thinks that he can only install apps to phone, so he deletes the apps on verge of downloading new apps.
But here is something you can do in this condition. You can very easily move your installed apps to SD card which were installed on phone memory, and free up space on phone memory to get new apps installed. Or you can simply change Windows Phone settings such that all the new stuff goes directly to SD card only.
Here is how you can move apps to memory card from phone:
