solution for "insufficient storage available" error

gentle_giant · Jun 18, 2012

Ola,

If you have seen the dreaded "Insufficient Storage Available" message after an update or even a new download from Google Play
and you tried everything this might help:

"I had this problem a few days back. I fixed mine by running "Lucky Patcher" and then going to the troubleshoot section in the menu and picking "Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available"

I copy-pasted the lines above from AndroidCentral. It did fix the problem for me. And I have been spending many, many hours if not days digging through search results to find a solution..
My thanks go to GTAFan9999 on AndroidCentral for pointing me in the right direction.
After installing lucky Patcher some apps that refused to update in the past, updated just fine, I could reinstall Facebook and Whatsapp.

BTW, you will have to google Lucky Patcher, you won't find in on Google Play.

Thanks a lot, it worked great for me. I tried downloading "Titanium Backup" on my Nexus 7 and got the error message. Simply opening "Lucky Patcher" solved the problem for me. When I opened Lucky Patcher and it was loading the packages it gave me a toast on something like "odexed app cache" or something like that, and it solved the problem. Thanks again.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Nexus and I have this problem too. I've tried this method (that seems to work for everyone except me), but I don't really get what's suppoused to happen. I press "Remove fixes and backups", but it doesn't really do anything. Nothing happens when I press it except that a box pops up which says something like "Lucky Patcher has been granted bla bla bla". I've checked Setting>Storage, but the problem remains; Only 508MB is available even though I've only used like a third of my 13.33GB.

How come it doesn't work for me?

If this doesnt work ,try to do the manual way ..use root explorer...go to data/app and see of there is any odex file left there which is named similar to the app you cant install due to insufficient space... done...

Thank you：好：

<3 luckypatcher. Was getting this error with one particular app after uninstalling it and then trying to reinstall it, despite having plenty of free memory.
Simply running lucky patcher fixed the problem. Whoever thought lucky patcher is just a piracy app is an idiot. While it can be used for piracy purposes, it has lots more uses

I tried this simpler solution before the hassle of lucky patcher and it worked great for me. Thanks!

I've used clockwork mod recovery to set up a 500MB sd-ext partition on an 8GB sdcard and link2sd can create links between internal memory and that partition on the sdcard. The apps are installed on the card but their files appear to be on the internal memory. The updated version of google play refuses to install on the sdcard in the usual way but link2sd has moved it to the sd-ext partition on the card and it works fine.
