Help Help regarding apps and storage!

[Ryanlost]

Hi there! Can you please help me in the simplest way possible please (I'm not good with all the technical terms lol)

Basically I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 (I have had it for a year+) and I am trying to download more apps from Play Store but it keeps saying "There is Insufficent space on the device". I belive that basically means not enough memory/storage space.

However, I don't think I have that many apps or pics, vids etc so I don't understand why I have little space.

I have gone to Settings>Storage and I don't understand!
It says...
Device Memory: Total Space 1.97GB
Applications 1.09GB
Available 220MB

USB Storage: Total Space 11.50GB
(Apps, pics, vids etc)
Available 9.78GB

No SD card: (I don't have one of these)

By the looks of it I have lots of available space yet I cannot download apps from Play Store. Why is this??? Can anyone please help me with this problem. It is so fustrating. Thanks all

Hi Ryanlost, welcome to Android Forums.

Go to settings >applications > manage >all, scroll down to Google Play Store, hit the force stop button, then hit clear data, then uninstall updates, now reboot your phone, you should now be able to download apps

EDIT : If that doesn't work try clearing cache and dalvik cache.

Depends on what app you are trying to download, but you DON'T have lots of space. You only have 220MB left for app installs.
