Help Insufficient space

I have a Alcatel one touch fierce and I'm trying to redownload snap chat and it is telling me I have insufficient space so I deleted all my pics after moving them to my drive acc and then deleted them from the SD card, doing so gave me 1.28 GB of space but it keeps saying insufficient space. I have rebooted my phone and made my SD card the default write disk. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it
 
How much internal storage (sdcard0) do you have? Only part of an app is moved to the sd (sdcard1)
 
The phone has to keep s certain amount of space free for normal operation. If free space drops too low, the system will become unstable. This is like in Windows if the HD becomes nearly full Windows will become unstable, lock up, crash and blue screen.

Install this simple little app called Storage Truth. 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:

Then you really do have too little space left internally, as that's a very small app.

Once you get below the minimum internal storage it's irrelevant how much you have on the real sd card. Maybe try clearing some app caches and see whether that lets you install it.
