Default Insufficient Storage Space?

I'm currently experiencing a problem that rears its ugly head once every few months.

My S2 is a 16 Gb model with a 32 Gb Micro SD card on board.

Both these memory areas are approximately half full.

My apps auto update and usually do so without any problem.

Currently a couple of apps go through the process but fail to finish, with the pop-up "Insufficient Storage Space".

I clean the cache on a weekly basis and, at times like this, I do it again and retry the update with the same result.

Any tips, anyone?

apps install into the internal storage area, which is 2.1Gb. This is a partition on the internal sd card. You have filled this partition.

You will need to move apps to sd card (12 Gb max), or external sd card to free up some space.
You can do this by going into application manager and looking through the individual apps you have installed. some may have the "move to sd card" button enabled.

but remember that by dying this you can move most parts of you're app to sd card and there will be some content in your program memory.
