You also want to clear the Google Services Framework and the Play Services data.Glad you moved it. Took me a few to find it.
I DID THIS: Try going to menu>settings>applications>all and find the play store app in the list. Select it, then clear the cache and clear data. Reboot your phone. Don't worry if it asks you to accept the terms of the store. That's normal after clearing data. Then see if it will connect.
It did not connect. I did go to the Tracfone site because that is where I bought the phone and it said the Play store was being worked on (maintenance.) I will try it again tomorrow but for now I don't think anything will work. Will get back to you on the progress and what steps if any I took for it to start working again. And if it still doesn't work and since I only had this phone a week, it might be defective.
Keep us posted!
PS - sorry this was hard to find. You ought to have gotten at least two pop-up notices from me with a link to here. Apologies if our site software glitched on that.
