I have the ACER A500 and I noticed that I was running out of space, so I deleted apps cleared out cache and it wasn't making a difference. Finally I started adding up the values from the different groups such as apps, photos, music and others and it didn't add up. There is a know problem that GPS writes out text files and they build up in the directory /data/gps. Acer has a fix listed in their forums but I could not get the update.zip to work for me and was getting the same problems as others in the thread, to go to the community website for this issue.

I finally rooted my tablet and installed Superuser and Terminal software so I could manually delete these files.

$ su
# cd /data/gps
# rm gl-*.txt

It was able to regain about 8 gigs of space.

I am going to monitor the ACER site to see if they get the update.zip file working correctly.

Hopefully others will find this helpful.
