This doesn't work for me. I still get 'not enough space.'

I confess I am completely at a loss. I've removed pretty much all apps I installed. Any data I had was on an external SD card. I have no idea what is taking up so much space, and I don't know what is safe to delete at this point. I am pretty sure anything I may have downloaded to internal storage is gone.

It doesn't help that any app that displays disk usage has reported different values for what is available internally. I guess I need to look for some sort of disk cleanup application ... I'm wasting far too much time with this.

REVISED ADDENDUM: OK, as usually happens, I now feel very dumb.

I read Alf77's message more carefully, and realized I needed to put the file in /sdcard, NOT in /root. I'm now updating. Duh.
