Insufficient Storage Space Available

    This has been happening to me a lot when I have been trying to install apps from the Android market. It won't let me install anything or update, because there's insufficient space.

    I've downloaded Storage Analyser and according to it my space is as follows:
    /sdcard - 3.91GB free
    /system - 107.1 MB free
    /data - 27MB free

    I'm using Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and it is updated to the latest version of software and my phone is rooted.

    How can I free up space? It's really annoying.

    You could try going to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications and move as many as possible to the sd card. It's the ****tiest implementation though. Even after moving applications there's still a huge chunk of them on the phone and there are lots of them you can't move.

    It's the bane of my life(my life using the phone) with my HTC Desire and the main fault I'd have with Android devices.

    My play has the warning up for about the past two weeks now and it's an absolute pain in the hole dealing with memory and trying to find something that can and will be deleted. It's the only time i find myself wishing to return to iOS.

    I didn't realize you could select which items to move to the SD card. Cheers for that. It's annoying that you can't choose for the apps to be installed to the SD card!

    I have that option but I'm running the CyanogenMod rom and it's in a category of options specific to that rom. I've a feeling it can be done on the standard rom but a little less straightforwardly.

    If your experience is anything like mine it's really just postponing the problem.

    It used to be quite common to have an unofficial apps to sd which moved everything to the sd card but since Android started offering their neutered version it doesn't come by default with CyanogenMod(and if I remember correctly, was quite difficult to add). I assume larger internal storage on many devices has also reduced the need for it.

    Oh and for completeness, I should warn you that moving stuff with widgets(winamp was my experience) can cause the widget not to load.
