[Q] how to remove “Insufficient storage available” notification - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Moto g 16GB varient .....but when the last 500mb is left...we get this irritation “Insufficient storage available” notification and we can't install or update an app from play store (because it says insufficient storage while there is 500mb still vacant).....
Please anyone tell me its solution....(I'm a rooted user....i would do anything to get rid of this notification)

Try this: (Might not work)
Keep in mind the name of the app you want to install or update...
Using root explorer or any other file browser go to data/app-lib/ and delete your appdata folder of the application you want to install/update.
Hope I helped you!
If I did , then why not press that Thanks button under my post...

Touch and hold the notification and go to app info and untick notification

You could try this...

I've never used it myself, but I've seen it mentioned on XDA before.

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.

I had the same problem and this worked for me. I had to load a different launcher for it to go to when deleting Nova, then it worked fine.
Re installing it from Play store works for me, however I personally do not like Nova launcher very much

May be play store is updating. It happens to me too. Let it be for an hour or so and see in Settings>Apps. If its updated you can do whatever you wanted.

the DM is default downloader when you are downloading from google play market and etc.
ADM pro wont grab or handle it.

Deactivating an app? Pretty easy. Go to settings -> apps -> on to "all" tab -> find the downloader app -> select it -> freeze/deactivate or whatever says the up right button.Before you do that, force close the app (right next to the deactivation button) and after the deactivation, I suggest you to clean all the data of the app.

[Q] Need Help here !!

I just bought my mi4 today, and i just cant remove the limit of downloading app from playstore & other apps,
i've browse around and they keep said using "Download" app that already there since they start their phone.
and i realize that i dont have that app !! omggg
anyone can help me here?
sorry for my bad in english.
Are you sure you dont have the download app? It looks like this:
If you dont have it, try updating or flashing a fresh MIUI ROM.
After you find it go into it and press the 3 dots on the top right. A menu will appear. Click on settings and scroll the numbers on the bottom down to where it says unlimited.
