- Download Failed Because The External Storage Is Full Pes 2017
Storage Previous Next Sort. I don't download music or movies, no huge games in here and the few pics or videos I save to a Passport then delete them on the hard drive. After being unsuccessful, I finally just blew out the computer and started over. But think about it like this you have 8 gig of ram that means 12.5 times your full. I have the same problem. I had Windows 10 and because of my insufficient HDD space (it' only 32 gb), I had to put an external memory stick for my ASUS E200HA to update. I waited overnight for it to update, but in the morning I saw this message: ERROR Please insert the external storage media and press OK.
I am using Samsung GT19060 my internal memory is 8GB. I have not downloaded anything but anytime I try to download something it will tell me low memory space.

In short: 25 MB free internal storage is minimum requirement (source: TechniPages, AndroidCentral). If free space falls below that, the 'insufficient storage' error is triggered.
For details, see:
And many more -- this is a quite 'frequent question'. For more results, simply follow the internal-storage tag.

The other 200 MB is reserved for future purposes e.g.
1.Saving cache onto disk to free up RAM
2.File System
3.Moving some processes data to SD/ Flash Memory
It is recommended that you have at least 300 MB free space in case you want to install apps. And I'd recommend using a cleaning tool such as ccleaner because android is not good at memory management.

I had this problem with my galaxy tablet and what I did was basically go to app info on all of my apps and tap move to sd card if it let me. It seems to do it automatically on its own now.

Not all internal memory can be used for installing apps. I think android allot a part of your internal memory for installation of apps. When that allotted space is over, you start receiving that error message. You can try following:
- Uninstall Apps
- Move apps to external storage or money card. You can do that by going to app settings. You may be able to move some apps by app settings option.
- If you're still getting low memory issue, then you use This app. This is only app I found on play store which can move those apps to SD card which android app settings couldn't. But to use this, you need to be rooted.

My app needs to write data into files (should be user-accessible).Now I usually check whether external storage is available/writable or not.If it's available & writable, app would be able to save data to external storage.It at all, the external storage is not available, what should be my next option to write/store data that user can access easily. (writing data into internal storage might be frustrating for the user to search).help please.

If the external storage is unavailable and you want the data to be user accessible, then you should show a dialog informing the user that he/she should make the external storage accessible (putting in an SD Card or disconnecting from the computer, whatever is required). For small files, you could maybe try asking the user and uploading them to his/her dropbox or Google Drive or some other cloud storage accounts.

Also, keep in mind, that as Budius said in the comments, all devices wil have an external storage, even if it isn't available at the moment. This is not completely true though. All device which have been verified by Google and have Google Play will have an external storage. Devices running custom hardware and modified versions of Android may not.
