It slots in fine, is recognised on the settings as more memory, but still saying storage space running out. What else must i do please.

but still saying storage space running out
this probably refers to the internal memory of your device. Apps are by default stored on the internal memory. What you can do to increase the available space on your internal memory is the following:
- Move all media files (your photos/ music / videos) to your external SD-Card. You can use a file explorer to do so (cut and paste).
- -If available- move app data to your SD card - to do this go into your settings, search "applications / application manager" and look for each app if you can move it to the SD card
The usual basic solutions: clear your cache (and do it frequently), Uninstall unnecessary apps, moving apps to sd card (if available).
Apart from these, what I do is manually move some of the App's data folders in internal storage (Android/data and Android/obb), to external SD card (usually huge games that are taking lot of space), and move them internal storage only when I want to play them. Move them back later.
