Market keep telling me of update when I uninstall the app.

[Bryan84]

Recently there was an updated version of Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich, the free one from Market. But I was unable to install it as it always prompt me "Insufficient Memory". I've more than 100MB free internal memory (using App2sd) and over 5GB free on my SDcard. But it just refuse to let me install. So I tried downloading the apk too and install it using a root manager, but the installation also failed.

So I decided to give up on the app and remove the app. But yet Market still prompts me for an update (and my phone refuse to let me install it). I done a search on "jack" using my root manager to delete all files related with the app and even clear up all apps cache... but still Market prompts me!

What should I do to either:

1. Get this app to install successfully
or
2. Remove this app "cleanly"
or
3. Stop Market from showing me an "Update" for this app when it's already not in my phone?

Phone: Moto Milestone
Firmware: 2.1-update1

Thanks a lot for your help.

Android holds copy of the installation package in cache, even if you uninstall it (its little bit weird), probably therefore it finds updates for this application (even if its not installed). You can delete the Market cache (Settings/Applications/Manage applications/Market and "Clear cache"), the cache should be also cleaned during phone restart. After clearing the cache, updates for this "not installed" application shouldn't be checked anymore and it will be possible to install it again.

Yeah that's what I did, clearing cache but it's still there.

No idea, maybe restart will help?

Okay they upgraded to another 1.0.9 and I was able to install it.
