Insufficient storage available/ Low on space, nothing seems to work

[Khasn]

Hey guys, I'm running a rooted LG Optimus L7 with the stock ROM (since there seems to be no support from any major custom ROM for the phone) and for a while now I've been receiving the Low on space / Insufficient storage available errors when downloading apps, I've pretty much tried everything, I wiped the cache and data of the Play Store, Google Play services, Google services framework, uninstalled updates, installed and ran [redacted], I even did a hard reset via ROM toolbox, that worked for a while but now they're back! and I have enough free space (around 310MB) in the internal storage (where all the apps are), this is happening almost any day with pretty much all app updates and it's really getting to my nerves...

Thanks for all your help!

Where are your photos/videos and or music stored? Internal memory or SD card? if internal memory move all of it to a large size SD card. Format the card on your computer before you install it and move items if this is the case??

All photos/videos and music are in a 8 GB external SD

A thing I just realized is that nothing seems to agree on what is exactly the free space in the phone storage, the system app/storage manager says one thing, ROM Toolbox's app manager says another, the Clean Master app manager another and when I connect it to my PC it reads something extremely low (120MB), also app size is displayed differently in each of the aforementioned apps. Any ideas why?

Do you have a lot of text messages? I had a phone that would give me the low memory when my texts got too full
