I can't install any apps within the Google Play store it says, 'insufficient storage available'.
I use 'App cache cleaner', and 'SD Maid' to clean the system cache and other junk files but it makes no difference.
I've cleared cache of Google Play Store and Google Play services. The size of the data is only small at 22mb.
I've tried uninstalling a large app of size 150mb but just the same.
I've looked for large files within ESfileExplorer and Storage and can't see unwanted files to delete when analysing the internal storage. Also the logcat file is good to delete and make room but it's only a small file not 800mb on mine after analysing the storage.
I have 6gb spare on internal storage.
52gb spare on sd card.
I've moved most of my moveable apps over to the SD card using 'App2sd link (root)' to use symbolic links. This has increased the available storage in system so Android should see plenty of space in internal storage.
I've cleared data on all the Google Play apps including:
Google Play Store
Google Play services
Google Play music
Google Play movies
Google Play services framework
Google App
Basically resetting it to first boot state.
I rebooted and tried to install or update an app in Google Play and it just says 'insufficient storage available'.
I go into SD Maid to clear all cache and junk, go back to google play, it just says same message of insufficient storage.
Has anyone got a useful technique for dealing with this common problem?
I can't believe Google hasn't sorted out this problem, I've bought an app but can't install it.
