Insufficient Space on Mobile Device I have searched for an answer to my question because many others have asked this before me - but i guess i have to find more creative answers because all the given answers don't really work for me.

I am trying to install a new app of 18.1 MB but it's impossible. What can I do?


I un-installed 2 apps (together should be more than 18.1 MB)
I only have a few downloaded apps (mostly linked to google like google play music, google play newsstand etc) but still its says with Application Manager > Downloaded > 1.7 GB used ( Id say thats too much), 315 MB free
(and with those apps I uninstalled all updates)
I have an SD card , which has space, but I cannot move any of my apps there


Maybe its time for a new phone
This problem may occur when your memory cache is insufficient.

When you download an app, the data goes in the cache so that the phone can install it when the download is completed.



In order to be sure that this is the problem, try to download smaller apps. There must be a point where the size is small enough for your android to install it.

I had this problem on my Acer Stream years ago and this is what the support told me, which was right. What is your smartphone model ?
