Can't update System-no space available

birdy · 06-02-2018, 10:03 PM

Hi all, I'm trying to install a system update of 1.1Gb but am getting error that not enough space available.

Storage & USB shows:
7 GB used of total 66 GB
Android OS 6 (Marshmallow) 4.66 GB
Internal storage 2.33 GB used of 3.54 GB
SanDisk SD card 53 mb used of 58.53 GB

Download& Storage shows:
Manage storage 58 GB available
Download to SD card checked
Auto move to cloud checked

I have a Sandisk 64 GB card formatted as adoptable internal storage.
So why does the system say I have no space available ? If the card is formatted as internal and not portable storage shouldn't any downloads be able to use the sd card storage? Essentially I have 58 GB available but can't update anything. I am totally frustrated whith this. I am not computer illiterate, but just can't figure this out. Any help would be most appreciated
I'm at the end of my rope with this. Thanks in advance Ted :<)

Try disabling all the google apps (including Chrome) and make sure any apps are moved to the SD Card (I find this is not automatic).

I wind up with 1.47 GB available after that....
