Internal Storage Discrepancy When Installing Apps

[isuftin]

When checking Settings -> More -> Storage, it's showing 7GB left on internal storage.

When updating, uninstalling or installing apps, Google Play flashes a notification that says that I have ~600m of internal storage left.

What gives??

It's might not be a Google Play message ... if you've ES File Explorer installed.

On my HTC phone and on my Sony tablet I found the culprit ... it was my favorite file manager ES File Explorer
Catched it with the app Notification History, ES's notification was "Internal StorageSpace left: 1.52 MB", identical with a update's pop up notification.

You may try to uncheck the message on ES's settings, Display ...

A-ha! That may be it! I wonder what ES FIle Explorer is referring to when it's reporting that.
