Insufficient Space

Hi
I am getting an insufficient space error quite a lot lately when trying to update some apps.
Recently got Lollipop on a S4, the O2 version from Kies.
Is this a common thing? I am sure that I should have enough space as I have an SD card and a lot of apps etc are run from that. Is there any way to check how much space is where on this thing? I have been through application manager and the really big apps I have are moved to the SD card, some apps there isn't an option to move over but I am wondering if there is a file of stuff from when I updated from KitKat to Lollipop which is hogging up all my space, I have to remove a load to get Lollipop downloaded in the first place which was a bit of a pain.

Install this simple little app. It's very small and will install in very limited space. It will tell you how much space you actually have left for installing apps:

To make space you can:
Delete some texts or emails. If you really have lots, this can help.
Uninstall app updates.
Uninstall apps.
Clear cache files. However, that will only make space temporarily as cache files will rebuild over time. Also, while clearing cache files won't hurt anything, they're there to speed up operation and should be left alone.
