Why do I have insufficient storage?

[AC Question]

why do I have insufficient storage

I have a ZTE Majesty on straight talk... I only have a few small apps that I have downloaded but for some reason I cant update my apps... I keep getting an insufficient storage error... I cant move any more apps to my SD card because they came installed on the phone from factory... PLEASE HELP!!!!

Do you have a large music library or a million photos on the phone? Those can be huge. Otherwise, Have you tried a global cache clear? Settings-Storage-Clear Cache. And a power off & restart never hurts.

If what I found for specs is correct, there is only 4 GB in memory. Vanilla Android takes up a little over 3, leaving less than 1 GB of space for the user.

And ZTE bloat takes a little more. Supposedly there's 2GB available to the user, but that only holds true for very small values of 2.
