If you're talking about the downloadfile.apk, downloadfile1.apk files on your /sdcard/ yes.
If you're talking about the actual /cache folder off of the root, I'd still say yes. I was under the impression only the davlik and lost & found folders where there. Plus the cache folder can be wiped through the recovery menu without causing problems to the phone, it'll just take a while to boot up as it rebuilds the cache with the necessary files.
You could always copy them else where (using ADB, root explorer, estrongs, etc.). Erase them. If there's problems push them back

Yes I was referring to the cache folder off of root any idea as to what those files are?

My guess would be that they are leftover temp files from market downloads/installs. If you really want to know, you can use estrongs or root explorer to access the files and open them up (as if you wanted to install the apks)

I tried to install and see what it would say but it just said problem parsing the package

You can erase anything in cache and be fine. If you erase dalvik though just expect a long reboot.

Cool thank you very much...someone from another post told me that download.apk, download-1.apk, etc are just cache files from market downloads and downloaded email attachments is that correct?

Market downloads specifically I think. I never worried about where from. Just erased.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but...
I just discovered this issue. Memory was running down to around 45mb even after using the Firerat MTD mod. I was just about to start from scratch (like I would on an old Windows machine), but then saw these in the /cache directory. Deleted the apk's and I'm back up to 107mb of free memory.
It's really strange. Shouldn't the Market app clear this cache or overwrite the files when they're no longer needed? Is there a setting somewhere to do this automatically or do I need to do so manually every time? Lastly, I'm running AOSP 0.9.9.2. Does this happen on anyone else's phone?

No, I totally get that. It's just odd that these junk files would just pile up in the /cache directory. What would happen if I wasn't rooted and couldn't wipe cache? Weird, right?
Maybe it's just an AOSP thing...

Unable to install Titanium Backup

Hello friends!
I am presently running rooted Simplicity 2.2.1 on XXJVU with Semaphore 2.5.0bm kernel. After installing this ROM, I installed Titanium Backup Pro and then recovered all my backed up apps,data and settings. Everything was working fine until yesterday when I found that Titanium Backup Pro was gone. So after searching for it and finally unable to trace it, I tried installing it again, both from the apk file that I had in my SD card and from the market, but it failed everytime giving an error message saying "Out of Space: Titanium Backup could not be installed. Free up some space and try again"
This is strange because I have a hell lot of space available and still it is showing this error. I tried installing other softwares and there wasnt any problem with that. This message is flashed only when I try installing TB.
Can you guys please help me to come out of this situation because TB is a must have software for me?
Thank you.

Try looking at last few comment on below thread, they might help you.

Thanks. Had same problem and deleting file /data/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex:good:

For those of you who have used Lucky Patcher for Titanium Backup, removing the .odex will not solve the issue.
The solution is to remove the patch with Lucky Patcher:
In Lucky Patcher click on Titanium Backup > Open Menu of Patches > Remove ODEX with Changes!
If you have uninstalled the app before removing the patch, you will not be able to update it.
In this case just install the same version as before (this will work), then remove the patch and upgrade the app.
hope this helps

You are right, I removed the odex file but it still doesnt allow me to install the updated version as I had patched the previous version with lucky patcher. I followed all that you said but I am still not able to install an updated version. After uninstalling the older version, when I try to install the new version, it gives "Application not installed"... Now what?

go4saket said:

Did you reboot phone, after deletes?
if you have root explorer you can try going to /data/dalvik-cache and delete [email protected]@[email protected]
and
[email protected]@[email protected] after that reboot phone

Thanks...Done...

After trying just about everything, THIS WORKED. So I did hit the Thanks Button.

which rom you are using

so I uninstalled it before trying the luckypatcher method. and I deleted some titanium folder that was empty. I rebooted and still not luck. I just kept trying to install and eventually it did it, after about 10 times.
I've been in this scenario heaps, different apps. almost like custom roms don't uninstall apps properly. I'm on omega note 2.

Even I also faced da same problem.. u have to wipe data/format n dalvic cache n restart da rom

Uninstalled an app, now get 'insufficient storage available' when i try to re-install

I installed FPSE, and then uninstalled it after having problems, but now I cannot install either the version I downloaded, or the version from the store. Both tell me I have insufficient storage space available, even though I have well over a gig free.
Also I am able to install other things.
Any ideas?
I am using Gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted..
Just redid the procedure with Odin to root, just in case that might clear something, but no...

Use some Root Browser to check your system folder to see if you have available storage space. Sometime the old files are not deleted and they fill up the storage space. If this is the case you need to format the system folder before you can install anything.

I had the same problem too,after I uninstalled N.O.V.A. 3 and can't install it back.But other apps has no problem of installing.

SD maid from Playstore might help here^_^.
Contrary to the name, it clears cache and left over data and logs from the phone internal and external memory.

If you have another Android device, you can force the app back on your phone.
1) Install app on other device
2) Make Titanium Backup of app on other device and send it to your phone
3) Open Titanium Backup on phone and go into preferences; change restore location to external storage
4) Restore app backup from other device
5) After restoring app, go into Settings -> Applications and move the app from SD to phone
6) Now app is installed on phone just as if you installed it normally and you can change your Titanium Backup restore location back to default

Try to clear cache and data from the store.

Easy, uninstall the app first, then go /data, search the app name, like "titanium" or the package name, sth like com.xxxxxx.xxx, should have that name.odex or any other, delete it, but make sure its correct name of coz, after u deleted the file in /data, u can install it again
But yea, like the above user say, it usually appear in crack app, if so, do the purchase mate

You must have some leftover file for previous installation, serch and delete of that will allow to install again.

I had this problem the other day trying to install apps with titanium backup and the play store, both were getting this error. I fixed it the same way by going into the data/app folder and deleteing the .odex files in there. I had two in my folder, one was 'com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex' and i cant remember what the other one was. I think when an app is uninstalled or modified, it sometimes leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error.

Here is a simple SOLUTION :-
Install lucky patcher now press the menu key
Choose troubleshooting now click on removes fixes and backup now u can install the application

In the market.

for simple solution go to recovery and clear cache and delvik-cache and install same nightly or any other rom which you are using . Thats it.
And Make Sure next time you dont ask such noob question in Development thread go to Q/A thread and post there this kinda silly stuff.

Have you checked the options in Superuser? If you swipe over to the left there is an info tab with "temp u root". You should check that out...

Same thing on the tablet, bad file, can't open.
Please, could you re upload ?

I found on google, I installed but doesn't works

I'd take a full nandroid backup, then reinstall CM9 completely and see if that fixes your issue. If it doesn't, you'll have the backup to restore to.

[Q] Insufficient Storage Available on a few apps

Okay. So the weirdest, yet most annoyingness (them fake words, though) thing keeps happening. It's a pet peeve of mines to not have all my apps up to date. LoL!! So these 2 apps keep giving me the Insufficient Storage Available error.
It started off with PPSSPP ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp ).
I can't update to the newest update. I have the previous one. I once ran Google Edition and it updated fine. I meant to make a backup and just restore it to be up to date. Grr!!
Then all of a sudden it started happening to The Hardest Game Ever 2 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.orangenose.games ).
It's weird. I want them to update. LoL!! Yes, I have enough space. I mean all my other apps update.
I've wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. I read over something once about deleting system logs? When these apps finishing updating I try wiping Market Data. Or maybe just wiping the Market cache. I don't feel. Maybe data. It wouldn't hurt anything.
And it's so weird. On my GS2, restarting usually fixed it, or the problem usually fixed itself. Hmm...
Anyone else ever run into this? What did you do to solve it or did it fix itself? This has been an ongoing problem. I know sometime before the GE phones came out. LoL!!
And as I type this a 3rd app has been added. Into The Dead. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sidheinteractive.sif.DR ).
I can't have that. That's my game. LoL!!

To not make OP too long, here's some things I've done so far...
Deleted PlayStore Cache and Data...
Checked to see if ROM Toolbox Pro had Apps2SD set to Auto (and it as already on Auto)...
Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery...
Deleted the app and tried to reinstall (Had to recover the app. LoL!!)...
Made SURE I had enough space. (I took a 6GB backup off my phone. I KNOW I have at least 6GB off the bat)
It's a slow growing list of apps. Hmm...
The only thing left is to backup apps and reinstall the ROM, since it works on other ROMs. *sigh* That'll take forever. =.S

SOVLED
I have it fixed. Here's what I did. You NEED root to fix since you have to go to a system folder. I think you can do this without root if you use ADB commands. I don't know remember if the computer version of ADB can navigate to these folders. Anyways...
"Follow this and let me know if it works for you.
First step is go into a file explorer with root access. Second in the root directory click on data, once in the data folder click on app-lib folder. Last step is scroll down to the data folder for the app you are trying to update or install and delete it. Thrn go into the market and try to install"
http://www.techfreestyle.com/io
1st comment on the page.
Steps:
1) You will need root. Go into a file explorer and go to the root folder. (I used Root Explorer)
2) Open the directory named "data".
3) Open the directory named "app-lib"
4) Find ALL the folders of the app you're trying to update or install and delete them.
5) Reinstall or update the app and it should work
I don't know if this will delete the data of the app. I've already deleted the data manually from those apps, so I don't know. Do with caution.

also its just solve the app that u can't install , so its not solving the problem permanently.

You're right. It happened again. But this time these apps had data. The method I mentioned didn't delete the app data. So that's good.
But this means it can happen again. Its a bit tedious deleting them files. I wonder what's causing it. Hmm... Maybe these lib files are suppose to delete on their own, but they don't. =./
