Moving data from phone memory to SD card - please help!

I recently bought a sandisk 32gb class 10 ultra memory card and faced following problems while transferring data:

1. Moved twitter app to sd card: It took around 10-15 mins and after that i couldnt open twitter. I had to uninstall it and then install again to use it and in the process lost the data.

2. Moved all my images from phone to sd card but it didnt free up phone memory at all and sd memory filled up

Am i doing something wrong here? I used storage sense for moving twitter app and used gallery to move images.

please help with above.

About twitter I do not know.
But about the pictures..
Are you sure you moved them and not copied them?
Please connect your phone to a PC and check with windows explorer the directories on your phone and SD card.

Do I need to format a brand new card? Bought it 4-5 days back?

Yeah there was only one option for photos "copy to sd card".

You do not need to format it.

Copy means that you make a copy so now you have the same pictured on your internal memory and SD card.

So you still have to delete them in the internal memory.
You can do this with the app "FILES" or connect your phone to your computer and delete them with windows explorer.
