I'm exactly the same as you. A few apps, mainly games kick up this error, and short of a full wipe I have no idea how to fox it!
Happened on both my N4 and N10 and they both have loads of free space left over

Have you tried to fix permissions, clear cache and reboot?
I think the issue is that the way storage is carried out makes it seem like there isn't any extra because there are 3 or more folders that contain all of the data on the user partition of the flash storage. under mnt/ there is SDcard, but also you'll find emulated, 0, legacy and sometimes 0/0 or others. These should all be only virtual folders or links to other folders, but I think that's doing something. I ran into it a few days ago and after a permissions fix and cache clear and reboot I got it to start updating again. It's doing it again now though.
yep, I fixed permissions and cleared cache. It really might be as simple as something changing the permission for the Play store to write data, which would probably look like a full partition. Anyway it worked and I'm updating and downloading again.
If you are rooted, try deleting the .odex file for that specific app in data/app or system/app.
If your rooted you can also just launch lucky patcher. It delete unused odexes automatically.

Hey guys. I have went from Di18 to Dk28 a few weeks back with ODIN and got my GPS working. I went to install ADFREE and it couldn't replace my hosts file. I got root explorer and noticed my SYSTEM a 258mb partition is full.
Now I see why it I cant replace my host-file..
When I go into my SD and memory app in settings it still says I have space available.. So it must me looking at a different partition.
Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a fix besides re-formatting everything? Any ideas welcome.. I really do not have that many apps installed.
Odin back to stock sounds like your partitions are mapped wrong.

Any apps you installed via the Market are stored in a different partition, so "reformatting" won't help.
The way to free up some space is to delete some junk from the /system/app folder, such as the Asphalt5_DEMO and FreeHDGameDemos APKs
I personally deleted any app which can be found on the Market, such as Amazon MP3, Facebook, Qik, etc.
It was repartitioned, just select the symlink option and it will work.
System/app is symlinked, deleting them and reinstalling from the market probably put them right back there...protected apps ftw.

No, it is not symlinked. /system/ is on a separate partition from /data. Any app you download from the Market is stored in /data/app or on the SD card, not in /system/app. This is why I mentioned deleting any apps which can be found on the Market from /system as you won't end up having two copies of the app and it frees up space on the system partition.
It appears that HTC made the app storage on this phone limited to ~150 megs and I see a lot of people deleting apps or clearing data from apps to fix. Does any custom partition utility exist for this phone? App so files are killing me. Thx for any pointers.

notenoughspace if you're feeling risky. learn it before you use it otherwise you'll be SOL if you didn't make a backup. useful to move data to emmc instead of sd. otherwise cleaners like one click or sd maid are for routine cleaning if you wish to be safe
Cool, thx for the tip!

Check out link2sd on the market. It allows you to move apps dalvik and libraries to a ext2/3/4 extension. It also has a setting to automaticly move new apps to the extension. I have about 55 apps installed and have about 113mb free.
Do these affect the standard apps2sd, or get wiped in a flash? When I ran into this,it was a game with "additional content " , which gave the option of storing on the sd instead.
I was wondering why I was having those low space notifications. I'll try these out.

Notenoughspace doesn't work (well) with GB but GB native app2SD moves the app lib folders which I don't remember previous versions doing this. Still I'm low space even though I have 580 megs free on internal storage. Wish there was a way to resize these partitions but I know this is very tricky. Just a pain to deal with space issues when I have so much free internal space that is unused.

To clarify notenoughspace works for cache/databases/files but doesn't work with lib data on GB since it recreates these on reboot so still a really nice utility.

I've been using NotEnoughSpace with the Business GingerSense 3.0 ROM with no problems. It's great for those apps that store lots of databases and files in the /data/data partition.
Yeah, moving cache to /cache seems to work with most but moving databases and files seems to break a lot of apps. Also, remember to backup apps if you use this since nandroid backups don't include the /cache partition.

I eliminated my low space issues by doing the following:
FACEBOOK: Clear cache / Deleted Data
FACEBOOK for HTC SENSE : clear cache / Deleted Data
ADOBE AIR : Uninstalled
ADOBE FLASH: Uninstalled the Updates
HTC MAIL: Clear cache / Deleted accounts / Deleted Data
This solved my problem... I installed K9 mail and allowed Flash to update and the issue has not returned.... yet!

Yeah, Adobe's a huge culprit. No app2sd and huge lib's. Also, AIR apps are sensitive to even moving cache. If you look you'll see AIR cert/sigs in data cache for these.

Hello. I have a U8000 with Aurora 4.0.
I tried to upload a file with 700MB to Google Drive when my smartphone crashed. I restarted it releasing the battery.
When it turned on, the internal memory for applications was almost full. I had to unnistal some applications to free space.
Probably the Google Drive uses the internal memory as cache before uploading the files. I already searched for some big file without luck.
Anyone can tell me the location of the Google Drive cache files?
Thanks in advance.
Idk where it may use but u can clear cache in programs. Or simply use app2sd (needs root).

I forgot to say that i already cleared the normal app cache, and unnistalled Drive, but the free space still the same.
The file must be somewhere, but i dont find it.

Try something like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5sZXZlbG9rbWVudC5zdG9yYWdlYW5hbHlzZXIiXQ..
If you don't have enough space to install it, uninstall some apps first...
I was wondering... If you do a factory reset in cwm, will it remove the contents of the virtual SD card? I would hope it wouldn't, but want to make sure.
Also wondering if it would erase the contents of the cwm backup folder, since that's been separated out now.

No if you do a factory reset in cwm it wipes only the /data and cache partitions so you can then flash a rom which overwrites /system, so everything but /sdcard gets wiped.
And what about the cwm folder? I haven't heard of it changing.
It's always been /sdcard/clockworkmod/

With the nexus 10, the clockwork mod backup folder is in /mint/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it.

weird, I went to find my clockworkmod folder and it's not in my sdcard. =O
I also can't find "/mint/" maybe you meant /mnt? but even then it's still not there. I did a nandroid backup, but I cannot find the folder.
Mistype, /mnt/
I know that alot of apps can't see that directory, thats "by design" from what i've seen... i'm using ES File Manager, have it set to root permissions, and have it set to up to root, and i'm able to see it there.

Ive been fooling around with my phone, by that i mean rooting and such. But really recently ive noticed that my internal storage is almost completely full no matter if i factory reset my phone and wipe all caches. The sizes don't even add up, the biggest thing is clockwerk recovery at 2gb but somehow there is another 7gb of something that i can't see. Is there files hidden somewhere that are causing this huge usage of space?
HELP
Use ES file explorer, enable to show hidden files. That should answer your question.

Use clean master from the play store, it will detect what is not needed and ask if you want to delete it.

even that doesn't help there is still 80% of storage taken up by something, could my CWM backups somehow be ending up on my internal storage instead of my SD because it seems that way
Use es file explorer to move any important files from internal storage to external storage (like cwm backups or photos) then wipe internal storage. After that you should have about 9 GB free on your 16 GB s4.

The nandroid backups were what was causing the huge space problems, I moved them to my sdcard and deleted them off my internal sdcard and I now have all my space back.
