this has happened many times in the last few days. I uninstall an app, then tried to reinstall an apk version, then it would tell me there is insufficient storage, and give me the options to go to 'manage apps' or cancel. Even if I tried to go back to the market to reinstall the app, it would tell me there is insufficient storage. However storage is not the problem, as i do still have a lot left, and i can install other apps no problem.
is there some place i can go to that wipes all traces of the app in my memory first? I was eventually allowed to reinstall another app after a while, but i dont know what was the solution. Now another app is not letting me reinstall and it's annoying.
i have already shut down and restart my tablet. i've also check the manage app place and it was no longer there. any help?

I did the *#*#307#*#* enabled 3rd party apps verified that they would install and all was working as described.
Now market apps will not update, and I cannot download new apps. It gives me a "Download was Unsuccessful, please try again" notification.
I did the *#*#308#*#* originally afterward, and decided to do the 307 prompt to turn app security back off. But still unsuccessful downloads and updates.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

I cleared my market cache on some advice from another thread, to no avail.

Here was the suggestion from another poster that worked for me:
What worked for me in the end - uninstalling the market updates (NOT the updater) - from options > applications ... I've lost options like automatic updates and "update all" but at least i can now update *at* all and install apps.
I wonder when does Market get "upgraded" again...
I did this, uninstalled the market update, and it worked great.
I did a factory reset to solve my issue.

no need to hard-reset.
make sure sd-card is not attached to a pc.
re-login to google talk.
in options -> applications delete cache and uninstall updates.
reboot device
make sure mobile internet is on
login to marketplace and everything should work again.
Hi, I'm having a problem with an erroneous "out of space" error when trying to install an application. I had Skype 2.0 working on the phone with minor issues for a few days. I then uninstalled it to try a new version and since then, whenever I try to reinstall any version of Skype (even the one from the market), it gives me an out of space error. I can, however, install other applications, so it's clearly not a space issue, as Skype isn't a big application.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Rob
Move apps to your sd card
Settings>applications>manage applications>(click on a big app)>move to sd
And your done

You could also uninstall some apps you use less frequently until you can get Skype installed and then put those other apps back on.

Thanks for your replies. The issue here is that I'm 99.9% sure that I actually DO have space to install the application, it just won't install. Other applications will install currently, I've removed a bunch of other applications, and I actually HAD Skype installed two days ago. It's very odd. Any other ideas?
Thanks,

Wipe cache and dalvik 3x.
I had the same issue with Skype. It bloated to ~40mb after two or so days, so I uninstalled it. I wasn't able to reinstall it after that, regardless of available space. I have since loaded a rom so I was able to install after everything was wiped, but I never found a way to get it installed before that. Having said that, I didn't really try very hard, because the Skype app annoys me more than anything else I've ever downloaded. I've also re-removed it since I put on the new rom
...
I tried out the cache wipes, but it didn't work, unfortunately.
Gorilla, that is not good news. I suppose I needed an update, anyway...oh well.
Thanks for the help!

I've never personally had the issue, but I've read about applications not installing a second time and throwing this error. It could be some residual files left over from the last installation.
Use a file explorer and search for "skype" and see what pops up. Remove them all. Reboot phone and try installing again.
If you already bought Root Explorer, that should work, but I use Super Manager as it works just the same and is free.
Yesterday as I was trying out games that were compatible with my new bluetooth controller, I tried downloading The Dark Knight Returns (since it was a compatible game and I had purchased it when it was on sale some months back on the Play store). Well, apparently I did not have enough space to install the game unfortunately. So when it seemed as if it was near it's finish downloading, there was an error message that was on the status bar that let me know I did not have enough space. So the file did not finish downloading or installing. When I exited the install, i noticed that the storage space error was still present. So I restarted the phone. Still had the same error message and very minimal storage available when I checked the internal storage. I cleared the cache of the Play store, tried clearing dalvic cache on Titanium (wasn't sure if that'd work) and also looked in Root File Explorer for any files that may have been installed by the game. Couldn't find any files so I was unsure where they were located, but the storage was still low. I uninstalled one more app, went back to the play store, tried to continue installing, and it finished install this time. Then I quickly deleted the game and my storage space was back to normal. My question is this. Is there any way in the future where I can delete this data without having to complete an install? I am rooted on JB 2.1.1. I have Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, and some other tools. This storage error has happened on a couple different occasions and I'm wondering if there is still some partially downloaded app data still on the phone somewhere using up space. I have been unsuccessful in my search for an answer to what seems to be a fairly simple problem, but then again maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Any help would be great!
Thought this would be an easy one that somebody would have solved. No?

I would assume its partial download data... No idea how to fix it other than guesstimating your free space and how much the app needs tho...

I'm going to try to do that, but my estimation of available space is not always correct since some apps require more space than necessary to install. I'm referring more to what has already been done so that I can remove anything that may currently be partially installed or downloaded.

Hi guys,
Today I has the following problem: I saw three updates, Chrome, Facebook and Whatsapp. And after installed Chrome, both Facebook and Whatsapp informed of insufficient storage available. I checked and I had 7Gb free. Just in case I removed some videos, but I had the same message. So I rebooted the phone and both apps disappeared. Hence I installed Facebook again, without problems, but trying to install Whatsapp I received the same "insufficient storage available" message again.
Can it be a hardware problem in the flash device? Is there any way to check it?
If nothing else works I will do a full wipe and install everything again, but I want to be sure it is not a hardware problem first, and I do not know how to check.
Ideas?
I am using the latest purity ROM, with stock kernel, and some Xposed mods that I just uninstall to discard them as being the problem, but nothing changed.

Problem solved: I noticed that I was able to install other apps. So I did a search in the full partition for "whatsapp" and deleted every single file and folder named *whatsapp*. After that I was able to install the app again.

If you had sd card and it was going bad, then I could imagine apps that install partially to sd card get corrupted and stop working. There should be
LOST DIR folder, if anything is there, those are lost and later recovered file fragments. You would need at least reformat the card, possibly replace it. If that's not the case then I have no idea.
Yes my external sd is corrupt. Cant add or delete anything from it. I contacted sandisk and they will replace it in a weeks time. So that must be the problem then?
