Insufficient Storage Available Error on Droid RAZR M

[DominusHD]

On my Razr M when I try downloading any app that's like .99 MB it says Insufficient Storage App or when I try downloading something on the internet it says that I'm out of space and that I should delete some apps. I have 3.15 GB left on my phone and I have a MicroSD Card with 14 GB left on it. Any help?

I would look at the play store app in settings- apps- and clear cache, if that fails then I suggest a cache partition wipe.

How do I do a partition wipe? and what does that do?

Will this resolve the problem with the "Insufficient Storage Available" and the "Out of Space" Errors?

Maybe. It doesn't hurt to try.

In order to do a cache wipe on the razr m
Turn the phone off
On the next start up press and hold the power and volume up rocker together until the droid with the open chest appears
Hold the volume rocker up and down rocker down together for about 5 to 10 seconds
A menu will appear use the volume rocker down and choose cache partition wipe repeat this 5 times
After the last one choose reboot device.

A cache partion wipe clears any fragments of apps that were left behind from apps that were updated, bits of the program that are no longer needed. I use clean master free from the play store and when I delete an app is tells me that some of the app is left do I want to delete it. It does not harm your settings or any funtion of the phone. As a side note a cache partition should be done at least once a month just as a maintenace to clear out any junk left behind when updating.

Also I'm not sure downloads, particularly for Google play go to the SD card. RAZR M has stupidly named it's internal memory SDcard0. Your removable card is SDcard1

It's not a stupid naming by Motorola, that's how a Linux kernel names devices. It starts with 0 and moves upward. The internal would be 0 since it's the internal one, and then anything after that is 1, 2, 3.

Just like the internal ethernet port on a computer would be eth0, and anything external after that is eth1, eth2, eth3, etc. Learn the background before you make the comment. Now, the stupidity may be naming the internal "SDCard" which then I agree.
