I've just installed Play Services 6.1 and was looking through its settings and found that it is still holding data from old apps that are no longer installed. If I load up the Google Services properties page and select "Manage Space" and then "Manage Wearable Storage"; I still see old apps taking up space. Is there anyway to clear these?
Have you tried clearing play services data?

I can't find Google Maps on my TF300. There is no icon on the desktop and none in the installed apps screen.
However, when I go to the Google Store, it allows me to update the app, then allows me to open the app. It runs fine. After I close it, the app disappears and I can't find the icon.
Somebody clue me in... Please !!!
Have you looked for just "Maps"? That's google maps. On mine there was an icon on the desktop when I got it.

There is no icon named Maps, Google Maps, or anything similar. Since I did not delete any apps, it has me wondering about 'hidden' apps.
Did you download the Maps app?
I have maps on mine, starting from stock.
On the home screen, swipe one screen to the right. It's in a folder called "Google Services".
Make sure in your app drawer you are under the apps tab. Not sure if it exists on the stock launcher, but on apex i have a downloaded tab and it doesn't show any preinstalled apps under that tab.

My 'Google Services' has 4 apps: Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Gmail, and Talk. My Settings screen shows that Maps is a Downloaded App.
Still no sign of an icon - and no easy to start maps. Am I the only one with this setup?
Strange, I've got 10 apps under my google services. Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Maps, Places, Latitude, Navigation , Gmail and talk. And I haven't messed with that icon. Are you too far in to do a factory reset?

I'm sorry that you can't see my screens . I still have only 4 items under Google Services. BUT, suddenly Maps appeared in the App Drawer. I have not used the tablet all afternoon - so, no changes by me.
It is disturbing that we have such different configurations - right from the factory.
Go to market and download.....resolved.

Go to market, it says installed right? Uninstall and reinstall from there.
When I bought my Nexus 5 (Android 4.4) I had no problems with Google Play.
I could see the preinstalled system apps under "My Apps", it updated automatically... All O.K.
Then I updated to Android 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader, root and it still works fine.
A few days ago I decided to do a Hard Reset (Wipe Data/Factory Reset "Fastboot Mode").
When it was done, I decided to create another Google Account to buy apps, sync chrome, etc. because I use the other one as work email.
When I entered Google Play to see why preinstalled apps (Hangouts, Gmail, Play Music, etc.) wasn't updating automatically, in "My Apps", under "Installed" there's a loading wheel that never ends, and under "All" there's no app listed.
If I install an App, it appears on both lists (Installed and All), but the others don't.
When I search manually system apps, it says that it's installed and let me update, and after that, it appears on both lists.
I want to fix that: Apps not appearing in "My Apps" unless that I update those Apps, despite I have them installed in my Nexus 5.
Thank you, and sorry for my english

"All" apps shows only those installed under the presently signed-in account. To access the old account's apps, you need to add that account back onto your phone. Then you'll see that both accounts will be available in a drop-down in the Play Store.

Does any one have an issue with the Google Play store automatically closing when you do app updates? Every time I have app updates on the Play store the play store app closes and then I have to go back to the play store and re-download the app updates. I have deleted my google account on my Tab Pro and I have also Cleared the data and cleared the cache and it still closes. What could be the issue with the play store closing all the time for no reason?

Mine does this all the time as well, sort of, although the updates continue the Play Store does "close", actually, it moves to the background and is still running... if I switch to it via task manager it is still updating.
Happens randomly for me. Some applications cause it whereas others do not. Haven't had it happen on my tablet for a while now though.
I had to change the user on the phone without resetting it.
So I added another google account and ended up with 2 accounts. Then removed the old account. Some of the apps got uninstalled and some of the data in other apps dissapeared, which is ok.
Phone works fine. Everything functions but there's one problem.
If I open "installed apps" in GooglePlay I get nothing. No apps installed. I can install a new app and it'll show up there. but all the basic stuff is gone. So Maps, Gmail, Chrome etc are not showing up there. So obviously they won't get updated ever. I understand that I can uninstall and reinstall them and they'll appear, but
Is there a way to link all the existing apps on the phone to the Play Store so they can get updates?
The phone is rooted.

Clear Play store / services : data/cache/dalvik and you shoule be fine again.
I forgot to mention - I tried to clear data on google play services, play store and google services framework yesterday.
After a reboot opened playStore and it asked to accept the terms and still didn't show anything.
Dear Forum,
Since the Android 7 (Nougat) update I can not longer perform updates/downloads with Play Store when I'm ROAMING. For the rest everything works well. I have a Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile Netherlands sim only Go Unlimited NL + EU (internet out of one bundle). When i'm in my home country i have no problems.
Have already tried a lot including emptying the caches Google Play Store, Download Manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Dalvik cache emptied and Google Account removed and added again.
Regards,
Michel

May be a third party app interruption such as Freedom.
Do you have freedom installed? or is your device rooted?
If so, you could download the app called total commander and navigate to /file system root/system/etc/hosts and edit the host file and delete everything then add "127.0.0.1 localhost"
Or you mentioned you emptied caches and removed google account.
Did you force stop the app, clear cache and data then uninstall google play store updates and remove google account THEN reboot phone and open google app and see if it works?
If all fails simply do a reset.
