So yeah insufficient storage available when installing anything in Google play..
Wiped cache
Manually deleted dalvik cache. (dont have a recovery and not getting it.)
I have 20 gb on internal storage if the app partition this small this is seriously ****ing stupid.
I don't plan to wipe data nor install any app since I use all I got and don't have that many -.-
It would be a pain in the ass having to each app to external SD to be installing apps... seriously WTF ASUS/Google

Well... I noticed I could install any other app regardless of size file.. went to the folder where apps are being installed and found out there where apps with the same name as what I was trying to install. I had this installed previously and uninstalled it seems the system created these .odex files that for some reason prevent me from installing the app with its name.
so just delete the .Odex and it works...
Oh well hope this help for other people. I was about to Rage RAAAAWRRRR

YES! I looked all over and nobody seemed to have the answer until I found your post! I had the same problem. I could install other apps, but I couldn't install 1 specific app that I had already installed/uninstalled, no matter what my download source for the app was. Then I found where the backup .apk and .odex files were (/data/app/), deleted that .odex file, and it reinstalled perfectly after that. Thanks!!!
can confirm before smashing my phone doing a factory reset i found a .odex file in /data/secureapp/ or some thing like that deleted thia and BINGO WAS HIS NAMEO whoop whoop thx

Environment: Galaxy S3
App: MX player
OS: JB
issue: as title.
but i cannot located the .odex for this app.
could anyone please help?
I still havent seen an answer for this issue, but I have over 6GB of Miscellaneous Files in Setting->Storage. nothing in there shows that much info, so I know its from loading different ROMs. I have no idea how to get rid of these files. I've been looking all around CWM for something to clear, but I'm not too confident about messing with that.
Does anyone have an idea of how to clear up this stuff?
Do you have a few nandroid backups? Those will register there. If you're using TWRP, there's a TWRP folder and you can remove them or archive them off. Clockwork is the same, I just don't remember offhand where it stores them.
If this isn't it, you can install busybox, and then either adb shell, or use a terminal emulator on the phone and run `du /mnt/sdcard -hl -d 1` you can then drill down to the directories which are the biggest offenders. Changing the 1 to another number increases the depth that it reports.

Okay. I finally managed to get this started. I went through terminal emulator and found that the /sdcard is only 7.6GB while the number in the main settings says over 10. /android has 2GB from some games, but I can't find anything showing where the 6GB of miscellaneous file is at. Even cwm is only 1.7GB from the one backup I have.

I've been fiddling with this for the last day or so and found that under miscellaneous file, System Memory now shows up as taking 3.67 GB of data. I've been looking everywhere to see where that much info could be, but I'm kinda stuck now.
I now know where that extra space has gone, but I have no idea how to free it up.

Galaxy S4 Miscellaneous Files: what and where are they?
So I'm getting a warning that the internal SD is out of memory, I've moved all movable apps to external SD, photos, music too.
Rooted and have TWIP as recovery *BUT* before I install a custom ROM, I want a backup *BUT* there's no room as the backup wants to use internal SD (not external)
Somehow Miscellaneous Files show over 8GB but in My Files it only shows about 200MB addressable (erasable). I deleted all Dropbox files and saved 200MB.
Where the heck are the other 7.8GB of files? How can I see them please?
Thanks in advance.

I did this but didn't solve the problem for me. However, I did find a solution which worked for me. I used CWM, went in to the >Backup and Restore>Delete> and chose to delete all backups in the internal SD. Solved my problem

Yes its kinda simple, at least it worked for me. Don't forget to thank me
Download ES Explorer
and go into the /data/media folder.
the troublesome files are there. Careful what you delete tho. For myself I had old remnants from another ROM and the entire rom zip file.
Don't forget the thanx button.
A lot of that is cached data for apps. If you use apps like gmusic, it caches music files to the device and that cache folder will grow. Root access will allow you to clear all your data es, including hidden files and that size will drop.

There's nothing in that folder.
So not that simple.
If you're rooted, get Cache Cleaner NG and let it wipe all that unnecessary data. I run it weekly.
With roms like gummy, you can click on Misc and see which app has all the data... It's likely something like Vine (it had a huuuuuuuge cache) or another app like gmusic.

Sir (or madam).
I need you to fully understand exactly how amazing of a person you are. I don't know where the data was or what ate it all, but this app got it all back and you are awesome for recommending it.

Tks very much.
I recently ran into a similar issue with my rooted nook tablet. It was killing my sd cards. When I put the sd cards in my laptop, I erased all partitions and that fixed them.
I used to be a moderator in a forum that helped people with car trouble. I have accumulated some good karma. please help me

Six and a half years later on XIAOMI redmi note 8T I habe finally found 6GB of data in orangenfox folder that I dont need ( for miui ota ). Thank you.
Got my Huawei Shine U8836D / Ascend G500 Pro and installed customs rom created by bgcngm - Recognized Developer. The customs rom created by him is excellent and out of the world. How can the system/app space can be increased to 500mb plus. I don't prefer to link to SD card with A2SD apk, prefer to have a real/permanent storage space increase.
Solution to my problem will be really appreciated.

Y do u want 500mb in the system/app?
There is no use of it unless u wanna have apps at system level.
And I believe only 500mb is allotted for /system folder ( may be more on different phones)
If you move apps to SD, it will give you more space on internal memory. Not on /system.
To get space in /system, delete any bloatware and stuff from there. (be careful while deleting, if you delete an essential one, the consequences will be bad)
LIFE! IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I prefer to place some of the required apk in system, so that it stays even after factory reset.

andord's internal memory's partition is fixed; i mean the amount reserved for system and memory part can not be changed even if you delete some system apps...
the only thing you can do is, deleting some system files which are safe to delete, and use that place to insert your apk's...

Hello.. I have a LG optimus f6 (MS500) rooted with xperion rom and the freedom kernel
I have been using GL to SD for games like Hello Hero and Heroes of DA. Well i Noticed Brave Frontier was sucking up more mem so.. i went to move it.. Hmm not to be seen.... So i go n partition install link2sd... Still cant find Brave Frontier. Oh the app is there/playable... both global and Jap version.. But neither app can seem to see them to link. Obviously the company has done something to prevent people from modding the app/data.. whatever... Can anyone help me figure out how to find/move this app/data with either link2SD or GL to SD.. i can use both but since i went and formatted i may as well go with l2sd.. if i can. Ok i hope this is understandable and i hope someone can help. Thanks

I haven't looked too much into particulars of everything, but I did a setup on my old phone where I linked the g+ cache to its SD card
And it works awesome
and the short version of how I understand things work for your situation :
you tell it to take /sdcard/android/obb...
and link it to /mnt/media_rw/usbdisk/...
and it will ask you to transfer over the files, and let it do its thing...
if you check out his xda thread I linked ya, he talks about game data and OTG, so see what he has to say about it...
