Low Storage Space error

Hi,
I'm getting this error on start up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm showing 0.91GB (1.97GB total) free in first internal storage
1.58GB (11.25GB total) free in the 2nd internal storage
26.82GB (29.76GB total) free on my SD card.
I've tried clearing the cache partition as posts from other devices suggested. I really don't want to do a full wipe so I hope someone has a quick fix.
Everything seems to be working fine, just not sure why I'm getting that error.. I only get the error on start up. I can get into Play Store fine (unlike others who have reported the same error message).
I'm running CM10 20130114 NIGHTLY and have seen it for the few week. I'm not sure if it's the ROM, some app, or something I did.
Much appreciated for any assistance.

you have all your pictures, video and music stored on the internal phone storage, and the external SD is almost empty. Move everything to external SD to get rid of that message

I freed up 3GB in the internal storage and am still getting the error.. I'll just do a full wipe on the weekend. Thanks for trying though.

Same problems
I have the same problem too.
I have 0.9 GB (1.97GB total) free in first internal storage
3.5 GB (11.25GB total) free in the 2nd internal storage
I'vw just updated to CM10 20130117 NIGHTLY and from that time I see this warning everytime I reboot.
I wiped full data before i upgrate and i dont know what is the problem. My phone still runs ok
Any one can solve this problem without wipe full data again?

solution
I found the solution
this is a known issue caused by Viber and/or Lucky Patcher. Move Viber to the SD Card, and it should be solved

Erm, what if it's lucky patcher?

[Q] Play Store Insufficient storage available

Ohai~
It's weird because I thought I'd find like 3k threads with my same issue but strangely I found none... well,here you have, the known bug of why play store says you don't have enough storage when you have the same storage for the app you want to download and 5 times more.
My free storage IS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and, if someone says "don't trust that, it's not reliable" blah blah, Clean Master says the same.
I try to download this update
and BAM.
What could it be, ladies and gentlemen? Details of my device at my signature, using Play Store 4.3.11.

You can try wiping the data for Play Store and see if it works.

Okay, tried, and nothing. I also tried reflashing gapps, still the same problem though...

If you have root, you can force uninstall Google from your system if it's a system app and reinstall from Google Play. If you're using Lucky Patcher, check that all unused odex files are removed as these unused files can also cause this error with Google Play.

hi, download directory of play store is /cache/download/
check if /cache is full
aosp/cm based roms uses /cache for dalvik,odex files( i don't know which )
you might want to bind process of download directory of play store using CacheDownload2SD.
It won't affect if you mount/unmount SD Card unlike what SD swap does.

littel help
that already happen with me and i solve it with formatin the phone (master reset) .

Why do you even want to reset the phone if the problem can be pointed out? It will be a lot of trouble to go through just to get Play Store working properly.

Actually /cache is empty, this is weird, with the same apps at CM10(4.1) I had like around 200 and 170mb free storage.. this just started happening when I switched to CM10.1.

internal storage problem

my phone can't see its internal storage, though the data is still there. I'm running tin latest developer preview, flashed clean and rooted with code blue. everything was fine, but I dirty flashed xtra smooth 1.5 and then reverted to my stock rooted backup a day later because of battery issues. since then I cannot download any file from the browser, it starts and then says unsuccessful after a second, and I also can't download a file from my google drive. play store works fine however. if I open the aosp gallery the folders for my internal storage images (camera, instagram, vsco, downloaded, etc.) just show as blank, with pictures saying "no thumbnail available." however, videos show blank as well but have the play button, and if I hit it the file will play normally, and if I attach one of the blank images to something like hangouts or an email they will show up. if I try to the back up function of any apps that offer it, like my alarm clock or pedometer it fails. though they can see the old file is there and restore from it. lastly, file explorer programs show my sdcard folder to be empty, though they are obviously not. I generally use es, but have tried several others with the same result. if I view it via twrps file explorer in recovery things are normal. any help?

Read the /sdcard sticky in general

thanks, it is a great sticky, but after reading it i dont see any solution/reference to my problem. the issue is not that data is deleted or corrupt or anything along those lines, it is that my phone- when booted into android- is not seeing my files. the data is there, but something is wrong and i cannot see them. for clarification, its not just /sdcard that is showing as empty in file explorers, /data, /storage and many others are showing empty too, though not everything as folders like /sys and /system are showing up as normal.

Mine is doing the exact same thing and is blowing my mind, it knows the folders are there, it says I have 7 GB full but the folder is emptey in any file explorer

heres the error i get when trying to download a podcast, i get a similar EACCESS permission denied error when trying to back up an app, but like i said, if the app already has a backup on the storage i can restore it no problem

It's like there is something disabling it from being seen by the system

I had a similar issue, doing this resolved it:
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Thanks bro! This fixed my SD issues!!

Recovered photos from SD card have all the same size

Hello guys.
So, I've been using my SD card as internal storage in my android phone.
My phone broke and I had to factory reset it.
Of course the issue with the SD card is that I am not able to access any files that existed there, anymore. Mainly I care about pictures.
What I did in order to fix this is first of all connect the SD directly to my PC and use various recovery software (testdisk, ZAR, remo recover etc) and none could read anything on the SD card.
The only software that manages to read stuff on it is called Stellar Photo Recovery.
Found 13GB and recovered them, but the result is .ppm files that ALL have the same size! Check the pictures below for more info.
Of course the recovered .ppm files cannot be opened by any software and I am here then in order to ask for advice.

Here is a thread that was started by a member with the same issue that I attempted to help.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/corrupted-sd-card-adoptable-storage-t3801250
If you read through the thread, you will see that they came up with a method to recover the data and return the sdcard to a useable/working condition and has posted the instructions. If you read further into the thread, you'll see where they have made improvements in how the process is used. Read all of the posts by that member in that thread and make sure you understand how their original method worked and how their refined methods are implemented vs how they were originally. Pay attention to the changes in the method and where those changes are implemented to make it easier.

Thank you so much for this. Even though I searched a lot, I wasn't able to trace this, since the word "adoptable" didn't cross my mind.
Will read and post back results.

Resolving Bootloop has removed my Internal Storage

Yesterday I got all my root set up and working fine on my Redmi Note 9 Pro using Magisk (albeit without TWRP installed as I didn't know anything about it at the time) then I decided to install the Smali Patcher module with Magisk so that I could Spoof Pokemon Go with my son in the evenings. I created the module no problem, but when Magisk flashed it, my phone bricked and got stuck in a bootloop to fastboot. I eventually got TWRP installed and factory reset my phone in the "WIPE" menu, I used the standard Wipe that deletes user data etc then factory resets the phone. Everything seemed fine, I was able to set up the phone as per normal until after about half an hour I noticed none of my apps had installed yet. I went into the Play Store and most of had a "couldn't restore" error on them and clicking on one and trying to force it to install would come up with an error about insufficient storage space.
I plugged my phone into my PC to have a look and to be amazement, Internal Storage doesn't show up at all, only the SD Card shows. After over an hour, only one or two apps have successfully installed so I assume they are installing onto the SD card and that's why they are taking an absolute age to install. Most of the apps just flat out won't install so I can pretty much just make a phone call, that's it. Am i right in thinking I have corrupted my Internal Storage somehow and the OS is now isntalled onto the SD card? Maybe the Internal Storage has been formatted and not reallocated or something? How do I go about restoring my phone to how it should be ie 64gb Internal Storage.
I have tried restoring to factory settings again and it made no difference,
