Este tutorial detalla qué hacer si al descargar cualquier aplicación para teléfonos o tabletas Android desde Play Market, aparece un mensaje que indica que la aplicación no se pudo descargar debido a que no hay suficiente espacio en la memoria del dispositivo. El problema es muy común y un usuario novato está lejos de poder arreglar la situación por sí mismo (especialmente debido a que verdaderamente hay espacio libre en el dispositivo). Los métodos de la guía van desde los más simples (y seguros) hasta los más complicados y capaces de causar algunos efectos secundarios.
First, algunos puntos importantes: aún cuando instales aplicaciones en la tarjeta microSD, la memoria interna se sigue usando, In other words, tiene que estar disponible. At the same time, The internal memory cannot be completely exhausted (Space is needed for the system to function), In other words, Android will notify you that there is not enough memory before your free space is less than the size of the app to be loaded. See also: How to clear internal memory on Android, How to use the SD card as internal memory on Android.
Note: I do not recommend using special apps to clean your device's memory, especially those that claim to clean memory automatically, close apps that are not being used, etc. (Except Files Go, Google's official memory cleaning app). The most common effect of these kinds of programs is, in reality, slower device performance and faster battery drain on your phone or tablet.
How to quickly clear Android memory (the easiest way)
An important point to pay attention to: if your device has Android 6 or newer and also has a memory card formatted as internal storage, you will always receive a message saying that there is not enough memory (for any action, even when taking a screenshot). screen) until you reinstall that memory card or navigate to the notification that it was removed and click on “forget device” (note that after this action you will no longer be able to read the data on that memory card in any way).
As usual, para un usuario novato que encuentra el error “no hay suficiente espacio de almacenamiento en el dispositivo” al instalar una aplicación de Android, la opción más fácil y a menudo más exitosa es simplemente eliminar la caché de la aplicación, que a veces puede ocupar preciosos gigabytes de memoria interna.
Para eliminar la caché, go to settings – Almacenamiento y unidades USB, and then, en la parte inferior de la pantalla, preste atención al elemento “Datos de la caché”.
In my case, son casi 2 GB. Haga clic en este elemento y acepte eliminar el caché. Después de borrar, intente descargar su aplicación nuevamente.
Puede eliminar el caché de aplicaciones individuales de manera semejante, as an example, el caché de Google Chrome (u otro navegador) y Google Photos ocupan cientos de megabytes a lo largo del uso normal. At the same time, si el error “Memoria insuficiente” It is due to the update of a particular application, You should try to delete the cache and data of that application.
To erase, go to Settings – Applications, Select the desired application, Tap on “Storage” (for android 5 and higher), and then tap on “Clear cache” (If the problem occurs when updating this application, Also use “Delete data”).
By the way, Keep in mind that the size shown in the application list shows lower values than the amount of memory that the application and its data actually occupy on the device.
Deleting unnecessary applications, Transfer to SD card
Look in “Setting” – “Applications” on your android device. Most likely, In the list you will find those applications that you no longer need and that you have not run for a long time. Delete them.
At the same time, If your phone or tablet has a memory card, encontrará un botón “Mover a la tarjeta SD” en la configuración de las aplicaciones descargadas (In other words, aquellas que no están preinstaladas en el dispositivo, pero no todas). Úselo para liberar espacio en la memoria interna de Android. Para las nuevas versiones de Android (6, 7, 8, 9) la tarjeta de memoria está formateada como memoria interna.
More alternatives to correct the error “No hay suficiente memoria en el dispositivo”
Las siguientes alternativas para corregir el error de “Out of memory” al instalar aplicaciones en Android pueden, in theory, hacer que algo funcione mal (no regularmente, pero aún bajo su propio riesgo), pero son bastante efectivas.
Borrar actualizaciones y datos de “Google Play services” Y “Play Market”
- Vaya a la configuración: Applications, seleccione las aplicaciones de “Google Play services”
- Go to “Storage” (if enabled, but, en la pantalla de información de la aplicación), borre el caché y los datos. Go back to the app information screen.
- Press the button “Menu” and select “Delete updates”.
- After clearing the updates, do the same for Google Play Store.
When I finish, check if it is feasible to install apps (if it tells you that you need to update Google Play services, update them).
Clear Dalvik cache
This option is not applicable to all Android devices, but give it a try:
- Go to the recovery menu (search online on how to enter recovery mode for your device model). Actions in the menu are usually selected with the volume buttons, confirmation is done by briefly pressing the power button.
- Look for the Wipe cache partition option (important: Never delete the Factory reset data: this item deletes all data and restarts the phone).
- In this point, select “Advanced” and then select “Clear Dalvik cache”.
After clearing the cache, start your device regularly.
Delete the folder in the data (root is required)
This method requires root access and works when the error occurs “No hay suficiente memoria en el dispositivo” when updating an app (and not just from the Play Market) or when installing an app that was already on the device. You will also need a file manager with root access support.
- In the folder. / data / app-lib / app_name / delete the folder “lib” (check if the issue is fixed).
- If the previous option did not help, try deleting the entire folder / data / app-lib / app_name /
Note: If you are rooted, also check data register. using a file manager. Log files can also take up a lot of space in your device's internal memory.
Unproven ways to fix the error
I found these methods on Stack Overflow, but I never tried them, so I can't say anything about their effectiveness:
- Using Root Explorer to move some apps from data / app. v / system / app /
- On Samsung devices (I don't know about all of them), you can type on the keyboard * # 9900 # to delete the log files, which can also help.
These are all the alternatives I can offer at the moment to fix Android errors “There isn't enough space in the device's memory”. If you have your own working solutions, I would appreciate your feedback.
