Device says error while downloading because there is insufficient space...

ok people,
I use a samsung galaxy mini with stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. I have link2sd installed on my phone and device is rooted. Recently i've been getting, "error while downloading because there is insufficient space" .. I have well above 120 mb in internal memory and the whole 4 gig memory card is free. I am not able to tick auto-link to sd on link2sd , because that option is unavailable. Also i tried to partition my sd card using minitool but i think im getting it wrong.
please help me.

1. Open "Root Explorer"
2. Mount as r/w
3. Go to cache/download/ and delete everything in that folder.
This should fix your problem.

Ok i mounted as r/w and in cache folder i only found two folders lost+found and some recovery related file and there was nothing related to download.

This looks like a bug with the new android market. The new market is so silly and idiotic. First of all there are always connectivity issues in it besides insufficient memory issue now. I downgraded my market and it work flawlessly. But sadly this is short lived as it updates itself.

I am, on my Archos 101IT Gen8...
It's killing me! Market v 3.0.26 (or 3.0.16, can't remember)... Almost all my apps need to be updated, and when I do this BLAM! 'Unable to install on SD or external storage'!
But I tried Jelly defense off Thepiratebay.org and it's the same problem... I install it, the bar moves a little and then '!Didn't install' WHY is that happening?
Even with PES 2012, but why?

This helped me to install Jelly Defense on SGS

I cannot install a 48.6 MB app from the market; "Insufficient space on device"

This is driving me absolutely insane. I've tried so many solutions that used to work in the past for me, but nothing works anymore.
I am using an AT&T Captivate (Samsung Galaxy S). I have over 700 MB of internal memory and over 9.8 GB of memory on my SD card left. When I try to download an app that is 48.6 MB (Jelly Defense), no matter what I do, I cannot download it.
I have tried Force Closing and wiping the Data/Cache of Download Manager, Google Services Framework, Market, and Market Updater, and then rebooting the phone. Didn't work.
I've tried doing all of the above and uninstalling the Market Updates. Didn't work.
I've tried what's in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18874811&postcount=2
but I had the same problem as in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18889951&postcount=3
What else can I do? This is absolutely ridiculous. I CANNOT install this app.

If you have android 2.2 there is an option on the app section that allows you to move apps to sd.If not then you should root,make a partition for the apps to be stored and move them in the external storage

The captivate has horrific stock software. I would root and go custom rom and then try it. You can odin back to stock if needed for service, even without a working screen if necessary.

But how can I move this app to SD? It won't even let me download it once in the first place...
I'd prefer not to install a custom ROM if possible.

insert your sd card in an adapter and transfer a custom rom or something

I have the same problem with blood and glory. Nothing has worked so far.

If it's a free app then try and find an apk file, put it on your SD card and install it to your device? On my rooted Cyanogenmod Galaxy 5 I can choose an option to automatically install every application to my SD.

Your /cache partion is too small search the i9000 forums there's a guide to increase the size of it

this would be an absolute last resort for me, and I definitely would not do it for a minor issue such as not being able to download a single app from the market, let alone a game.

So, the Android Terminal Emulator on the market is basically a Linux command line, yeah?
I have never touched anything related to Linux before...
copy the script to your phone give it executable permissions and run it through adb shell or a terminal
I have no idea how to give the script executable permissions, or how to run it through the terminal.
Can somebody please help me?

ok so
I'm now pretty sure I know what's stopping me from running the script fully
https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
I used that app. It moves the cache to the SD card, which removes current problems with market cache... but it still doesn't allow you to download apps above 30 MB in size...
but because it moved the cache, the script I'm now trying to run can't work, since it's trying to find the cache in its original location.
the description for the app doesn't say what the app ACTUALLY does, or where it moves the cache
does anybody have any idea how I would go about undoing what the MarketFix app did?

So, running the script through a terminal absolutely will not work.
btw, I'm on a Captivate, Rooted, without a custom ROM. Although I did do the official upgrade to 2.2.
I tried running it through a script manager, and this is what I get as an error.
It says it cannot find the device "mount"
What exactly is the problem?
