As the title says, I cannot install apps while, in fact, I have 3gb free. I cannot install apps such as Titanium Backup, Jewels Star, and Browser for Skydrive. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? This has only started occurring today, and yes, I am rooted. Any help would be much appreciated.
I hace 500mb and The same error :'(

Well I'm not exactly sure this is the issue or not, but for example, the Nexus 7 16 gb has like 13 gb free, but not all of that partition is available for applications. There is 2gb of allotted space for apps, and anything that exceeds that will have to be moved to a flash drive or an sd card in a USB adapter via an otg cable.
Go in Lucky Patcher and click on the three dots bottom right corner, than choose troubleshooting, choose the remove fixes and backup option.
That's it
Can't install apps due to Insufficient Storage Available

got this problem after an OTA update for my alcatel ot 995. a really big thank you for your info.
I tried both the lucky patcher and titanium backup ways and still have insufficient storage :'((((
I have also this same error with Nexus 7 16GB. Can't update/install new apps, even like size of 1MB apps. I have 501MB available. I have already tried "Forever Gone" and "Lucky Patcher" fixes and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Any suggestions what to do?
Insufficient Storage Available
Got this error recently too on my GN 7, with 11 GBs of free space.
Situation: Went to play Angry Birds Star Wars Edition. Selextred the icon on my desktop but got an error message stating the game was not installed (after being there for several weeks). Checked my App Drawer and confirmed it was not there. Went to Google Play, hit download on the game, started to install and then got the dreaded error message: Insufficient Storage Available.
Steps Taken: Went into settings, Apps, cleared cache and data, removed large apps but nothing worked. Tried "Lucky Patcher" and "MarketFix", no luck (pun intended).
Solution (FYI Root access required):
1. Using ES File Explorer, navigated to /data/app and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition .apk.
2. Using ES File Explorer, navigatd to /data/app-lib and deleted Angry Birds Star Wars Edition folder.
3. Back to Google Play, downloaded App and no error, problem solved!
My guess is that somehow the system no longer see's the app folder, even though its still there. So when you go to download it, or in other cases update it, Google Play does its thing and crashes when it encounters the files. Its not expecting to see them and then can't figure out what to do when it finds them. My uneducated guess is that the error message itself isn't reflective of the issue, just a generic error message (sounds like something Microsoft was good at ).
This worked for me, may not work for you. At a high level, I think you have to remove the offending application and re-install it. If its multiple apps, you may need to remove them all or perhaps something else is going on. Hope this helps, I was relieved when I got my the issue resolved.
While this article is from 2012, I'm experiencing a problem with my rooted Nexus 10 where certain apps will not update and the system throws the "insufficient storage available" error while I have 17.5gb of free space. The apps in question include (Lastpass, Netflix and Weatherbug). Other apps (Google Docs, Google Sheets and RootChecker) update just fine. I'm running the Paranoid Android ROM (version 4.43, released 07/15/2014). I queried the PA community but no reply. I also emailed support at Lastpass, but no answer as of yet. I'm holding off on updating the Nexus 5 to 4.43 until I figure out if the ROM update is causing this issue. I don't recall this problem appearing when 4.42 was running.

Thank you so much. I deleted the app and app-lib folders and my download completed.
I haven't checked to see if it fixed just that app, or all apps, because this seems to be an issue for all apps currently installed.
Either way, the one I needed to update, has done so, because of your advice.
Thank you.
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.

I first had this issue when I installed the Themer Beta App.
Whenever I try to download an app now, it gives me"Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]"
I've tried clearing the data and cache for the Google Play Store, Download Manager, Google Services Framework, etc. I've also tried removing my Google account and going into recovery and clearing cache and fixing permisions. Anyone have a workaround for this?
If it matters: SGH-M919 T-Mobile OMEGA V12 on 4.2.2.
Help Would Be Appreciated :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: I don't know how or why, but it fixed itself, tried to download an app, and it worked, if anyone has any further issues, feel free to post here
Same here in Nexus 4,
i think their server is down
Em also getting an error " server down retry " on my s4.

I'm getting the play store "insufficient storage" notice (for almost every different app I try) despite having 8 GB of "free" internal storage and 20 GB of "free" ext. SD storage available. I unsuccessfully tried all the following supposed fixes:
Cleared Play store cash/data before and/or after a forced stop and including uninstalling play store updates.
Forced stopped "Google service framework"
Recovery->>cleared cash partition and dalvkc cash
Re-installing Gapps
running app cache cleaner
However, I WAS able to install grooveshark.apk apart from the play store with no problems.
Could this have anything to do with a LCD resolution change?
Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I sick of factory resets, and am under the impression that even a factory reset may not fix the problem.

I had the same problem on my Nexus 7. If you use ES File Explorer don't forget to enable root browsing otherwise you won't see the folders.
This is what you need. You have to delete the folders for the apps that won't update in /data/app-lib/APP-PATH(that has this error)

Double-check your link there, that's the link to the latest firmwares.
Anyway, use your favorite root file manager (or adb/terminal, if you're feeling brave) to do the folder delete.

Spot on. My mistake. Thanks.
Did someone say steak?
I installed the new google calculator app with dark theme yesterday and it was working fine until today where the app itself disappeared and i can't find it in settings or disabled apps, i tried to reinstall the apk but it shows this, i tried from the play store and it shows this, i tried to use a method i used before to bypass this kind of issues by slightly changing the package name in an apk editor app and it used to work, now it's just giving me "problem parsing the package"
please any help
Another user reported the app had occupied 1GB space on his phone, so the app seems buggy.
If you cannot clean the apps memory/cache in settings/apps anymore and uninstall then I would suggest you search for the com.google.android.calculator folder(s) on your phone and manually them. Then from TWRP also wipe dalvik cache and cache on next start and for the time being, until Google fixes it, use another calculator.
I am happy with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaytasticsoftware.calctasticfree (only 2.9 MB and better reviews than Google).
