Android phones are the most commonly used phones these days and you may like installing most latest applications in it. You may be wondering when your Android phone tells you insufficient storage available when trying to install an application even though you are quite aware that there is enough space in your SD card. 
You will have to follow the steps below  to free up spaces on your sd card and phone memory and solve the insufficient storage error 

Causes of Insufficient Storage Available Error on Android 

This is mainly caused by lack of storage in your SDcard or phone memory. 
 Android apps use three sets of storage space: for the apps themselves, for the apps' data files, and for the apps' cache. The apps', caches can grow quite large, and thereby consuming space in either the sdcard or phone memory. Other applications may find it hard installing when the cache files are frequently accumulated with removal. 

You are likely to get the "Insufficient Storage Available" error, when the apps' cache are accumulated,  so empty your app cache to see if that clears up enough working space for the new app installation.

Cache are temporary files saved by an Android app for easy usage when navigating the application. Clearing apps' cache is very vital in freeing up spaces in your Android phone. 
To clear cache,  go to Settings >Application >Click on the app>Click clear cache. 
It is available to clear cache of all your Android applications at least once in two weeks.

Try deleting installed applications that you are not using. Some Android users derive joy storing applications in their Android phone without making use of them. I see no reason why I should install apps that I would end up not making use of,  they would be occupying unnecessary space in your phone.

Some apps are built in such a way that it works best in either the phone internal memory or from an SD card.  In order words, not all applications function well in the SD card.
