[Q] Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space.

I've installed Cyanogenmod onto my LG G3 D855, and a lot of the apps in my Play Store profile have been downloaded and installed to internal storage. Now, as I bought a 128GB MicroSD card, I'd like to make as much use of it as possible! So I'm going through apps and trying to move the ones that I can to SD card. However, each time I press "MOVE TO SD CARD", I get this message: "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space."
My internal storage has 23.77GB free. My external SD card has 116GB free. Somehow, I think there is enough storage space to move apps that are maybe 50MB or 100MB. I also don't see anything obvious in CatLog about the failure to move the app. So, why am I getting this error? Is it something to do with the face that the LG G3 seems to treat the internal storage as another SD card? Maybe it's trying to move the app from internal SD card -> internal SD card, and getting this error? How can I fix it, and actually move my apps to my external 128GB SD card?

Same here on a totally different device (Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus - G910F) on Android Lollipop, no clue how to solve. Reformatted the card, made new partitions, etc.

I've come looking for an answer too for my GPad. I have enough space both internal and on the SD card but I'm getting updates breaking and can't move stuff to the SD card either.

Still not solved here.

I have the same issue. Please assist

Had same problem: 32GB card works fine, but 64GB card won't move apps even though there's plenty of room.
Solution: connect the phone to the PC and fill the 64GB card with at least 32GB of data (music, video, whatever...). Now when you try to move the apps, the phone will see less than 32GB free and it will work.
App manager in my HTC Sensation 4G apparently freaks out and chokes when it sees more free space available than it was originally programmed to deal with.

Some apps can't be accessed (unable to get into internal storage?)

I recently updated my firmware to 4.16.401.10 and installed dragon ROM onto my m8. Since doing so I am unable to use any apps that try to access my internal storage, nor do I see any files in sdcard/0. It comes up with a message saying "cannot access the SD card". I'm not sure how to proceed here, any help would be appreciated.

hi,had the same problem and the fix that's been posted did'nt work for me,spent ages trying and various other fixes.only option was to format internal storage through twrp,but,you lose all content on your internal storage,i was unable to copy my internal to external sd card...
this only seemed to happen when flasing arhd 34,i've now switched to insert coin and have no problems,did read somwhere that twrp is at fault,so updated to the latest twrp,this made no difference when flasing arhd..
try insert coin..6.06

insuffient storage

hey guys,
i am on stock lollipop 5.1 but every time i try to download from play store. it pops up an error about insufficient storage, although i do around 250-300 mb free in internal and 1gb in my sd card.
please help
and thanks in advance :laugh:

Same Issue
I am facing the same issue. I have also tried a workaround. I have rooted my phone and now move most of the apps (except system ones) to the SD card. Still every time an app is updated it moves to the phone by itself and I have to move them over again. This is very annoying in case there are multiple apps requiring update and I cant update them all at once since after one of them updates, there is no more space. Is there any fix on this issue or maybe another workaround?? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks

I think the only solution is rooting the phone and making a partition in your SD card for apps, then all apps will install in that location without going to internal storage.

Where has all my storage space gone?

Hello,
Just upgraded my LG G4 (H815) to marshmallow. Before upgrade I had about 15GB internal storage space empty. During upgrade my phone asked if I wanted to back up and I said yes. Now after upgrade my phone is saying I have 22.70 GB of total storage and have used up 22.02 GB!!! Where did all my space go? Is there a hidden backup file sitting somewhere which is eating up all my space? Can someone please guide me? I am at a loss. Don't really want to reset my phone if I can avoid it. I am having difficulty installing any new apps because of such low space. Also, I do have an external SD card and have already transferred most of the apps there. Still no joy. Many thanks in advance.

Do not install this:

Found the 15GB backup file sitting in the internal storage and deleted it. I have my disk space back now . Thanks.

OPO Internal Storage Not Accessible

This question is in relation to my other active thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/help/app-installation-issues-lineage-os-14-1-t3590758
I wiped CM12.1 OPO and the Internal Storage in the hopes of removing any remnants of few apps that are not installing as per the above thread. But now the internal storage isnt accessible anymore. Only via TWRP connected to the laptop am I able to load files in to the 64GB Internal Storage of the OPO. Otherwise creating simple folders and copying data using the inbuilt Files App of Lineage OS14.1 Nightly (April 10th 2017 Build) or even File Transfer Protocol or MTP from Laptop to the device isnt happening. Taking a screenshot, using the camera, transferring data via ShareIt are not working anymore as the message received is insufficient storage space. My guess is that the boot partition is the only space these apps are being allowed to use (which obviously isnt enough) Apps however are getting installed into the internal storage. TWRP and Android are the only two folders in the Internal Storage. How do I take care of this issue? Please help! SOMEONE!
