If you wipe cache, nothing will happen. If you wipe dalvik-cache, the next reboot will take time to rebuild it

Cache is needed for the market downloads. Dalvik-cache: is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.
I just updated to a new build, but when I try installing apps, it says out of space even though I have over 600MB internal and 2GB external. I think I have to delete some system files but am not sure
Installing or recovering thm via Titanium?
Installing with the apk, right after the boot up.
Are the over 600MB internal the free or the total space?
That's the free
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

When this happens to me, i just tell it again.. Usually works on 2nd, occasionally 3rd try.. Then its back to normal.

@Keghan
the solutions could be:
unmount and remount the cache and data directory
fix permissions
wipe the cache and the dalvik-cache
clear the data of the playstore

Is it also true that you can remove the odex files for that particular app in /data? I remember seeing something about that in the recent posts for the Epsylon3 ICS Dev thread.
I scanned through the Dev forum and found out that by
Deleting the tombstone folder in Data and
deleting the odex of that file in data/app folder works
I was wondering if someone could tell me a Cache Wipe actually removes from the device?
Is there any risk to doing it? (Can it break anything?)
thanks for your advice
Wipe cache&dalvick doesn´t break anythink All aps or internal memory is OK
Its recomended to do time after time
Cache in general is a temporary and quick access data used which are used by system and your apps. Temporary information(data) created or used by an app or a system is part of cache(recovery logs e.g.) partition. However if you do not have to, do not wipe the cache partition. It makes system and apps run faster by "anticipating" actions, like preloading images e.g. for your apps and more.
Don't worry, no risk at all.
It's just temporary files. No more harmful than deleting the Temp and temporary internet files folders on a Windows.
Hallo..
i have problems with installing some apps from Market. I have 5gb freespace internal and 11gb on SDcard.
i have tryed clear dalvik cache from recovery and system cache also from the recovery. tryed clear cache with "cache fixer" and from settings -> apps -> google play store -> clear data and cache, still no luck :-/
so any ideas ?
Perhaps this is already obvious for everybody but thought I'd share it anyway as I only realised/discovered this (after years of android and flashing).
I have the 32GB version of the S6 and usually have about 2 nandroid backups on my device, I noticed that the size of my compressed backups was about 2.6-3GB which is pretty damn big for this phone (in the past I always had phones with sd-cards so plenty of space and never really bothered with it). Checking out if I could delete some temp and unnecessart stuff I found out that by deleting app cache manually and using (in my case TWRP) to delete dalvik and cache I managed to get this down to 1.6GB! So that means ~2.5GB if you have 2 backups on your device (this is with the xtrestolite v1.5 rom btw).
My steps (from now on)?
( 0. Install DiskUsage to identify main culprits: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage )
1. Install App Cache Cleaner from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache
2. Run app cache cleaner and delete cache from apps where desired (I found out that my browser and the playstore had about 1GB of cache combined, so I cleared all app cache)
3. Reboot to recovery (TWRP) and clear cache and dalvik cache in there (in my case there was about 2.5GB of cache files)
4. Make a nandroid backup
The only downside (afaik) is that the first boot takes quite a bit longer because it's rebuilding a lot of (dalvik cache) stuff. But for me that is just a small price to pay for the increased remaining size
Hope this is usefull to some others as well!
I used SD Maid app, the paid version, on my rooted Oneplus One to do the cleaning before nandroid backup. My S6 is still stock and unrooted.
