Like the title says, i keep getting the " Insufficient Storage" notification even though i moved the application to the SD Card.
So, that wasn't working and i searched the internet and read something about APP2SD CARD and Link2SDCard. For that i need root. So i rooted my phone. Now when i download app it says "App linked to SD". But it didn't move it so i go to the program and select "Move application to SD Card" and it does it successfully .
Although i am moving the applications to the SD Card, the system internal storage stays exactly the same. For example, i download Hearthstone wich is something like 1.20 Gb. I had 7.80GB of used space. I install this app, and bam! System storage full. Then i proceed to move it to the SD Cards with various programs i tried. And it says it has moved it, but i still remain with 8.00 GB of used space!!
What is going on and how do i change my default install program storage device?! Because that was the objective i have been trying to get with those apps i found on xda forum!
I hope you can help! Thank you!

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!
Try MarketFix by Felipe Aaon
You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
I've been looking and looking and couldnt find the answers. Please someone help
Some more information is needed to better assist you. What Device ? Rooted, or Non-Rooted ? What Rom ? What Android version ? What Recovery ?

What Carrier ?
EDIT:
You should be able to go to : Menu - Settings - Application manager . Then move the Apps to the SD Card manually. You can also use Titanium Backup to move the current apps, and data to the SD Card. But for the future you can use ROM Toolbox to make sure the apps install to the external SD. Finally you can check out THIS thread that discusses some of the same things you asking. Although the OP is trying to accomplish the opposite.
Hi,
I have an Android device. I bought it from our local cellphone shop, a Cherry Mobile phone. name of the unit is Jelly. Its Android Version used was 4.2.2. I have 165mb of internal storage(17.88mb available) and 14.87GB(13.28GB available) of SD card. I've rooted it using FramaRoot. I'm getting this error when I download or install an application using Playstore and APK installer.
"Error downloading. Insufficient storage available".
I tried clearing the cache. I've put it's Preffered install location to "SD card". Default Write Disk to "SD card" . But nothing worked! I really need help!
I cant download anything! I tried to download Link2SD(a 3mb file) to fix but nothing! I've tried installing Lucky Patcher apk. but it said "Insufficient ....................." .. How do I fix this?
I also noticed this when I was running out of storage, even though there was enough space for apps.
Try deleting some more data in your internal storage, not the SD card, and it should work again.
Basically, if u download an apps from the Play Store, the apps will be stored first in the internal storage. After that it will automatically moved to SD Card if u have root and set ur device.
Does the app which u want to download larger than the available internal storage?
If that so, u should free some memory in ur device.
Otherwise, u could try to enlarge the internal storage of ur device, try to find it in other part of this forum corresponding to your device.
17MB internal is the problem. It can't download an app directly to the SD, it has to pass through the internal memory first.
Clear some space on the internal memory.
Also, try dialing *#9900# and clicking on 'delete dumpstate/logcat'. Might give you a few more MB's.

I'm trying to free up some space with an app called "Storage Analyzer" and there's this enormous greyed out slice of the pie (88% of my internal storage) that is called "android/inaccessible"
1) does anybody know what it is? it's not spotify premium offline files, because I've deleted all those to try to free it up
2) how can I gain access to it, to hopefully delete some of the files & free up space
*this is probably not my android filesystem (I would presume) because theres a separate field called "android overhead" which only takes up 16MB (2.8%)

AT&T Galaxy S5 SM-G900A

16 GB internal memory
64 GB external (but I can't move any of my files over to the SD, since the files in question are "inaccessible" and greyed out)

I guess it's the space on the internal storage, which is not accessible by the storage analyzer app.
If your device is not rooted, your apps can not access all system folders ... only your user space.
If you want to free some of the system space, you will have to root your device.
There are different clean up apps available, but keep in mind, that deleting system files is risky and may cause issues on your device.
BTW ... here is the [INDEX][FAQ][Q&A][ALL-IN-ONE][ATT][SM-G900A][Jul.01.2014] by ted77usa thread with many useful information and links to other threads for your device.
It's an help thread too.
So please register on xda and ask there to get answers from users having the same device like you.
Good luck !

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I would trust the apps screen then, as storage is glitching out.
You can ask about this here, as this is where your device experts are found:
> General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking > AT&T Fusion 2 U8665 Root - General/Q&A
Please note, you will need to register for an XDA account before you can post there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
