I'm on Generic ROM from LG which is 2.3.3 Gingerbread and I'm rooted.
This issue has been occurred to me previously but I would like to mention it with a fresh start.
Today the application Google Maps v6.8.1 was updated, thus I too updated my app. Now I took a backup of that app and renamed it as Maps_6.8.1.apk. I did a Clear Data on that app and uninstalled the update, then again did a Clear Data for the old app. Now from ES File Explorer, I went to /system/app and replaced the old Google Maps application with the latest update. After successfully replacing the application, I restarted my handset. After the restart, I checked that the app was successfully replaced and functional.
Now the only problem arises is that surprisingly, I still have some data worth 4MB in /data partition (NOTE: app size is 6.1MB). I can surely say this because I faced this problem earlier and did a Factory Reset which successfully gave me those occupied space. But this time, I don't want to perform a factory reset again.
