This is driving me crazy. I keep have storage space issue when trying to install certain apps. Currently I am trying to install Mapfactor. I had it installed previously and just removed it. Now it says I do not have enough space to install it. Storage says I have ~650 mb free. Why can I not install a 9mb app? I have cleared my cache and dalvik and still I get insufficient storage space. I've attached a screenshot of my storage settings.

I was just able to install a different app that was 40mb. But, I still can not install the Mapfactor app again. WTF!?

So I dug deep and found a Mapfactor file still in /data/app-lib/. Once I deleted that file I was able to reinstall the app.

I have been having similar issues trying to install apps . I think my data is corrupted with the EMMC BUG

Since my discovery above, I check the /data/app-lib folder if I have any issues installing apps. I had this happen on a couple other apps and each time they had data in that folder. Once I removed that data, the app installs perfectly.

I've been running the Blazer ROM (best one so far) with no problems until I updated to the latest version. For whatever reason I cant download apps from the market. Everytime I try I get an error box saying "Error downloading _____ (insert app name). There is insufficient space on the device." I've tried everything. I'm not a noob either and I know how to flash. I've wiped and wiped again. I checked all my settings too. I even tried downloading from my computer to my phone. This is fu**ed. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.
This same thing is happening to me. There is still clearly space on both the SD card and the internal memory, and yet, it says there is insufficient storage on phone. It is rather frustrating. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
go to settings. go to applications. then manage applications. find market and click on it. clear data. open market and try again. let me know if that works
Lol guys you just have to flash a different kernel. Try the new one steady just put out. Im pretty sure phantom fixed this though. Do u have the latest version

There is insufficient space on this device
I have a similar problem.
I have E4GT with Caulkins 2.9.1.
I have the following storage available on my device:
SD Card 24.25GB
USB Storage 3.25 GB
Device Memory 1.23 GB
I get the following error when trying to update apps, or install new apps:
"There is insufficient space on this device"
I have gone into settings>apps>google play> clear cache. -> no change
I have downloaded App Cache Cleaner app and cleared all cached files. -> no change
Hi Guys,
Im having some trouble with installing apps on marks ics, irs a really annoying bug. So when I want to install a app downloading is no problem, but when it installs, mostly says I dont have enough space left although I have in my interbal memory 220 mbs free. And in the sdcard arround 500mbs. WTF???
Please help.
Thanks
A suggestion, don't really think it would work but try app cache cleaner

Check your files on sd card. It could be a corrupted file. It's happened to me before.
R800X- unlocked/AOKP/4.0.4
Problem fixed, dont know how
Try clear dalvik and cache partition?
No i looked in data/app and there were some crazy files
I've been messing around with freeing up space in my system partition (using the gingersense 3.0 Rom).
It appears that no matter how many system apps I delete, the available space (39072k) doesn't change when I check it via a terminal emulator using the df command.
What am I doing wrong?

First there is no need to delete system apps as you have plenty of free space. Second you have nothing to gain by removing them. Third the ROM may have system apps in data but symlinked to system meaning you likely are just freeing space from data.

Are you s-off? If not, thats probably your issue. As tiny said there is no benefit to removing system apps unless you concider it bloatware, or plan on replacing them with other apps.
Yes,I am s-off. The apps are gone, the size of system just didn't change.
I think tiny was on to something when he talked about system apps being in data, but symlinked to system. When I checked the partition using an app called storage analyser it showed me link in system, with app directory being in data.
Thanks for the thoughts. It's fun to tinker with the Android OS

I know for a fact a lot of sense ROMs on sense 2.1 and greater use that symlink. So I'm still wondering what there is to gain with 40 MB free in system and probably over 100 MB free in data.

I am currently running CM 11 latest nightlies. Since doing so, I have run into the the insufficient storage error. It first occurred when I was prompted to update Hulu ±. So, I uninstalled the app and attempted to reinstall. Still insufficient storage. It seems to be hit or miss. I can install/update some, but not others. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried navigating to an /app-lib folder to delete orphaned app files but there is no such folder. I've tried clearing data and cache for the play store, services and framework and rebooting as well.

You can check your storage usage in settings > storage. Free up some space by uninstalling apps or deleting some media files then try again.

The path should be /data/app-lib/
It's definitely there, I had the exact same problem. Just go in there, delete the folders for the apps you can't update, as well as any duplicate ones your find.
Hi, I am using a Nexus 7 with Beta 3 and i cannot seem to get Google Apps to install. I get the message insufficient space in the system partition. I have tried deleting apps but it doesn't seem to make any difference. What else should i delete to make it work? Ive also tried the mini Google apps but it still isn't enough space apparently. My device has 8.5gb free however.

Try posting in the GApps thread, you should get a faster response

The system PARTITION (key word) is a part of the hard disk set aside for just the system files that 8.5G is the USERDATA partition
