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.

How did you install Lucky Patcher? I downloaded it to my SD Card, but when I try to install it I get the same error? Thanks.

To use this application, you need a rooted device.

You forgot to mention this part.

Hello everybody! I have a pretty similar problem. But instead of being unable to install SOME apps, I can't install ANY APP AT ALL

When trying to install an app the Market just says somethink like; ''There is not enough space on the unit''.
But I clearly have space for it on the iternal. But I am able to install through APKs. Any suggestions? Also, lucky patcher doesnt do anything when Troubleshoot>Remove fixes and backups.

Some facts:
LG optimus 2x P990
Copy of LG GB 2.3.4 ROM just reinstalled before problem found.
Rooted
Clockwork mod (ofc)
ROM used before and apps could be installed.
Also the Market wont update to Google Play, wich it should.

If I have missed any important facts you guys should know about, just tell me

Thanks in advance! :good:

Insufficient Storage Available - Lucky Patcher (2.8.7) doesn't work

Nothing works.

I installed Lucky Patcher 2.8.7 on my rooted Google Nexus 4 to get rid of this problem. I tried the "Troubleshooting > Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available)" but it didn't work for me. I'm still not able to install Facebook and even update some apps like Chrome.

I thought this Lucky Patcher was my last option. Don't know what to do now to get rid of this error.

Same here. I've tried everything and nothing works. I eventually had to uninstall a heck of a lot of apps to be able to update and install others.

I tried this with Lucky Patcher 2.7 (Ibelieve) and it didn't seem to do anything when I hit remove fixes

The only "solution" that constantly works is removing multiple installed apps

Another thing I've seen is either using adb or apps2sd change your default install location (internal, external, or auto)

I tried changing with Links2SD and the Market Fix app but nothing works.

Having the same issue on Razr M. Please need help

Hey all! I have read several different threads, including this one, and have tried most of the methods to correct. Unfortunately....nothing works.
Here's my set up:
Razr M, rooted, have Saffestrap3 , Rom=Eclipse V1.2 (kudos to Nitro!).

Is there some other trick I could try? no matter what I do, I keep getting "insufficient storage" error when i try to update or download an APK.

None of this commands worked for me on my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 with CyanogenMod 10.1 (JB 4.2.2)...
Both, i got: "error: device not found"

I've tried everythig: wipe data cache, wipe dalvik cache, delete .odex/.obex (whatever) filex but they don't exist anywhere, uninstall e reinstall apps (but they don't install no more)... I even tried Market Fix but didn't work as well... Tried Lucky Patcher but not even installed...

Started with one app and now already are four...

Please help me find a solution, i don't want reinstall JB and lose my config, data and apps...

Thanks in advance!!!
