I've been having this issue for the past couple of weeks and I don't know how to resolve it. At first I thought it might have been my ROM so I wiped everything clean and flashed a new ROM but the problem still exists. I read on a forum that the cache partition could be full so I used Terminal Emulator to check the disk usage and I'm reading that my /cache is 98% full. I also have a dalvik cache in the cache folder as well as a dalvik cache in my /data folder both of which are close to 300mb in size. I tried to clear the cache and dalvik cache in recovery before resorting to the full wipe and each time both cache rebuilt themselves. I'm completely at a loss and I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks in advance.
So you're out of space? Perhaps you have several backups from CWM taking up all the room. They are pretty large files. I myself keep my stock backup and my most recent, the rest of them rest on my pc.

thats not the case here. i dug around a bit and saw that my cache and dalvik cache are 98% full. as stated earlier i tried deleting the dalvik cache but it regenerates itself. i looked around in titanium backup and saw an option to integrate some of the cache to the system. i enabled that and it moved around 150 items around and freed up some space. i'm still around 88% full and i know this problem is gonna rear it's ugly head very soon so I'm trying to install programs like link2sd and as2d+. none of these programs are working though...they all require partitioned sd cards (which i have) but none of these programs are seeing the partitioned card. i've tried repartitioning under recovery but that does absolutely nothing. anyway e4gt users can take advantage of these programs?
I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. I just downloaded Cache Fixer and ran it and now I am good. Turns out my cache was 95% full, wiped it using that tool and I can now update and download.
I want to add that after it cleared, I could update but some of the other apps on the phone did no work (Google Music and Dolphin Browser to nae a few). I re-boot and the cache is back to pre clearing levels and no other issues. It does temporarily fix the isse bt I do not have a permanent fix.
If anyone has one, I would love to know what that may be.
i just want to say that I am having the same exact issue and performed the same steps the OP did. Only when I wipe the cache with cache fixer it everything forces closes so i can't update anything. So i am really stuck.
The only success that I have temporarily is uninstalling the app then resinstalling it. But thats not a permanent solution and sucks for apps like beautiful widgets.
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: on calkulins 3.0 rom and self updated google play
I'm basically trying to move to the dalvik cache to my sd card for space reasons. I'm trying to format my sdcard for use with link2sd and other programs like it but I'm unable to do so in cwm. whenever i choose partition sdcard, it gives me the dialog like it does it correctly but nothing actually happens. I tried to partition the card on my pc but none of the link2sd programs recognize it. its as if the only thing those programs recognize is the internal storage and to my knowledge I can't do anything with that. if i can do it manually and avoid using the programs that'd be awesome. can anyone point me in the right direction?
...I'm kind at a loss for why you would want a virtual machine cache on an sd-card and not emmc. Perhaps I am 'not getting it'...care to explain?
i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now...downloads from the market over a certain size just won't go through. "insufficient space" "invalid package file" errors like those would pop up. i went to term. emulator and to check the mount sizes and my dalvik cache was 98% full. in titanium backup i saw an option to "integrate sys dalvik into ROM". i enabled that and it moved over 150 items from the dalvik to someplace in the system. that cleared up some space and now i'm only using 82% of the dalvik and i'm able to download and update from the market like normal. i know this problem is gonna come back and i'm trying to avoid it by moving the dalvik to the sd card where the space is plentiful.

I've never encountered this problem...I flash like crazy...I also migrate over all of my apps via TB...so...I have like 4 or 5 phones worth of apps following me around from rom to rom.....I don't have many big apps, so, of course YMMV--and likely will--but....perhaps this isn't, in fact, the actual problem but a symptom of another problem.
Have you had this issue with multiple roms? When was the last time you did a full wipe? On every phone I have either the stock rom or my favorite rom that I always go back to, no matter what, more than any other rom.....via nandroid....and I have never encountered this problem....any other customizations we should know about?
I've never had this issue before. I'm on the latest Calkulin ROM since I've switched from my HD2. This is the first time I've had this error pop up and I resolved it by moving some things around in the dalvik and freeing up some space. As stated earlier TB moved around 150 items and afterwards I was instantly able to download/update from the market. I don't really customize my phone other than the random theming here and there. I've switched ROMs back and forth to see if it was in fact the ROM and not something I did but the issue came back as soon as I restored my backed up apps via TB. I'm guessing the cache filled up with the data from the apps that are backed up with TB.
Here's one solution/quick fix: manually delete your dalvik cache with a file manager and then just flash an odexed Rom: Then your space issues would be solved, and there's not the issue of Dalvik taking up any room in the first place.

...and I have always preferred odex'd roms. makes sense.
so there's no way of installing the programs mentioned in the first post?
CM supports init scripts, right? Download Calkulin's ROM from the Dev section, extract it and check system/etc/init.d for a dalvik2cache (going by memory here, might not be the exact name) script. Might be able to use that.

I have run into problems updating apps on the market (such as GoLauncher..)
I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache.
I get the errors:
"There is insufficient space on the device"
and
"The package file is invalid"
when trying to update apps.
I have tried using Root Explorer to delete everything from /data/dalvik-cache/ and /cache/dalvik-cache.
I have tried using Titanium backup to clean out the Dalvik Cache.
I have tried booting into recovery mode and wiping both Cache and Dalvik-Cache and battery stats.
I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, R800i in the UK on Orange.
According to Titanium Backup Pro, my space is as follows:
System ROM: 130MB free
Internal: 172MB free
SD Card: 10.9GB Free
I have also tried using MarketFix, and wiping the Market and Market Updater, and Download Manager Caches, removing updates from Market and Market Updater (and this helped once, but I don't want to keep doing this!)
Can anybody please tell me why this happens?
It should be noted that within Root Explorer, cache/Dalvik-cache and data/dalvik-cache are practically full every time I check, even after reboots.
Edit:
I did something on Titanium Backup where I integrated updates of system apps into ROM, and now I can't remove my Market updates.. :/
After reading this, it appears this may have been a mistake.....
Ideas?

MOST likely reason is due to - I am on DarkForest ROM RC2... I moved the Dalvik Cache to /Cache. - moving the dalvik cache to cache on 2.3.4 is not good.
Was going to say can I reverse moving dalvik... but screw it..
I'm moving onto DarkForest RC3 tonight...

hello, i have a problem with samsung galaxy note 2:
I got root permission (by Chainfire) and I did the reset of the counter with triangle away ( I have also checked in download mode and it says that it's fine).
Anyway every time I try to install any application from google play it says error insufficient storage available and that's false! I have 10gb of free space on internal sd.
I tried to install many apps (especially busybox, the one I was trying to install when the error appeared first) but I couldn't install anything from google play.
The only 2 apps I could install were a root file manager and link2sd , but to do that i had to place the .apk file on the esternal microsd with my computer, browse for that and launch the installation.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Go in you applications setting chose play store and delete cache

I tried this method but it does not help
Had the same issue yesterday - over night the system took over 4gb extra space . Factory reset solved the issue.
I used to get this on my Desire HD, even with loads of space left available. Clearing Play Store cache would fix it for a few weeks and then it would happen again. I've yet to encounter the problem on my GN2 though.
I'm having the same problem on my Galaxy Note 2 n7100 and it's really annoying me now. I've tried EVERY solution possible but nothing works...
Delete Play Store cache
Un install Play Store updates
Search for and delete Odex files
Run Lucky Patcher
Run MarketFix
Boot into CWM recovery, delete cache, delvik, fix permissions
I've even done 2 complete factory resets, downloaded the apps again and then used Titanium Backup just to restore the app data... Nothing works. Once the apps are reinstalled it won't let me download and new apps or update apps (well, SOME apps will update, others won't).
I've got 8gb of internal memory, over 30gb of SD card memory and over 800mb of memory on the internal partition.
Can anyone offer me a solution that will fix this issue??
install root explorer,go to the carpet data,app and search the app wich you have problem to install and erase it,and with that yo should be able to install it, it works for me
this is an example with the app that was causing me problems com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex all id this was delete it

I had this issue too and i just couldnt fix it. Finally i just decided to do factory reset and after that install the Ext2SD hack and so far it seems to be ok wth fingers crossed.

Hi
What are the luckypatcher and the Ext2SD hack?
Thanks for your answers.
This issue is cause by people using app2sd apps. Sammy phones can't use app2sd as the system sees extsd as the path which is not accepted by the system.
If you have app2sd installed remove it and reboot.
If you using Rom Toolbox change the app2sd feature to automatic.
I had this issue a few months ago and this solution worked for me.
via XDA Premium HD - GT-N7100 - Omega Rom - Neak Kernel - TWRP Recovery
Solution to your problem!
Found the solution to this!!
For everyone that is getting this error you probably have Link2SD installed, simply go in the settings of the app and go to where it says "install location" then simply change it from external to automatic!
Let me know if it works for you guys!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I've been suffering this exact same problem with app2SD with my Note 2. I followed your steps and badda-boom badda-bing I'm back in business again!

A thousand thanks, almost unrooted and wiped my tab, tried it and PRESTO! Error gone. Should add this info in the post about installing link2sd, just a thought.
Thanks again!!!

You can fix it by giving relevant information to the people who will potentially be helping you.
Which roms did you flash?
Has your total or available dropped to 3GB??
Can you provide screens of storage details???
yes i am sorry. You are right. So,I have flashed a series of omega ROMS : Omega V18, Omega V19 up to Omega V23, As you see the available space is now 3.8 gb after i uninstalled some apps.

You can solve this by using a program called diskusage.

deleting those 0 folders wont affect anything it just hold your old data that was used by previous rom if u explore you will find your previous data and u can simply delete with any file explorer even with my files
I'm gonna take a shot at the dark here too... maybe you also still have a bunch of Custom ROM zip files on your phone (the files you used to flash in recovery). ^^

Before I would install any custom Rom what I always do is erase my WHOLE internal storage not removing might stack the files
