How to fix Insuficient Storage on Android Device.

 

Have you ever encountered "Insufficient Storage Available" on your Android device?

Lack of working space is the cause of the "Insufficient Storage Available" error that periodically bedevils Android users. Adding insult to injury, there are several possible causes for the lack of sufficient working storage.

Android apps use three sets of storage space: for the apps themselves, for the apps' data files, and for the apps' cache. Those caches can grow quite large, yet they are reported as free space by Android -- though in fact that space is not available as a working space for app installation.

If you get the "Insufficient Storage Available" error, empty your app cache to see if that clears up enough working space for the installation. How to do so depends on what version of Android you are running, as well as from what device maker. (The screens here are for Android Lollipop running on a Samsung Galaxy S6.)

 LET START..

• To free this space up and prevent this message, you can navigate to “Settings” > “Applications” > “Manage applications” and uninstall apps you don’t need, or move the apps to the SD card. Doing this with one or two apps should provide enough internal memory space to receive text messages again.

•  Navigate to “Settings” > “Applications” > “Manage applications“, then swipe over to your “Downloaded” apps. From there, pick some apps and see if you can select the “Move to SD Card” option. Not all apps have this selection, but many will, and you can easily move them to the SD card and free some space.

•  Tap an app to see how much storage it is taking, both for the app and its data (the Storage section) and for its cache (the Cache section).

•  Tap Clear Cache to remove its cache and free up that space. You could also tap Clear data, but that removes your files,logins which is probably a bad idea.
