Try to install and run CLEAN MASTER. This app will help you clean all caches (except dalvik) and will clear some space for you
It wont remove any saved settings in any app. It just cleared its data (cache, thumbails etc)

I did clear all chache data and the fault was with the app (apk file was broken).I tried other apk files and they worked so thank you.

Dalvik-cache
When your phone starts up, the Dalvik Virtual Machine looks at all your apps and frameworks, and creates a tree of dependencies which is stored in the dalvik-cache. This allows applications to run in an optimised state (and explains why your phone takes longer to boot up after applying a new rom, it’s rebuilding the cache.)
Thank Google.

htc dictionary

Hello Everyone
Is there any way at all to access the dictionary that HTC uses? I have the HTC_IMD Mod keyboard which has in the settings menu access to user dictionary but I do not think this is the full list of user added dictionary items.
If I can't edit individual items add or delete is there a way to flush the user dictionary completely and have it start from fresh? I ask because I have noticed when switching between roms and if both roms have the HTC_IMD Mod the user added dictionary seems to presist between roms even after a wipe of data and cache
Thats weird usually a full wipe kills everything

Yep I did all those things. The only one I wasn't' able to do was wipe dalvik cache. When I tried to do so through the recovery menu an error occurred and it told me to use adb wipe dalvik. So I tried that but when I typed adb wipe dalvik the help page came up describing the adb commands and it doesn't seem as though wipe is one of them.
How do you wipe the cache through adb?

Can't download / upgrade large apps

I get "Insufficient space" errors when I try to download or upgrade apps around 20 MB. This is on Gingervolt 2.0. Any ideas?

Try clearing the Dalvik cache in recovery or you can clear cache and data for the market by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>Market
As an aside, every time I clear cache in recovery, I have to set up my account again. Is that normal?

Not for wiping the cache partition. That should only happen if you wipe data.

I have been having this problem too, wiping the caches doesn't seem to help me so far. If I delete out a few files from the cache with ES I can download and update the apps. But I need to do that every time.
*sigh* ok stupid me. Wiping cache / dalvik cache from recovery didn't help me either since they both filled right back up when i rebooted the phone.
So then I tried wiping them manually from ConnectBot, but I did a rm -rf /cache/. Although this did allow me to download the apps without the insufficient memory error, this seemed to crash the package installer, and I tried to reboot. Now my phone boot loops ...
Yeah, so is there any way to fix it from here? How can I get back to recovery from a boot loop? And how would I repair the cache cand dalvik-cache partitions? Any ideas?

Pull the battery
Use volume down and power and hold both until you see the "wipe data" screen.
Confirm with power button
Confirm with power again
*this doesnt actually wipe anything*
Now you will boot into recovery, from there, either restore a backup (hopefully you made one recently) or reflash gingervolt without wiping anything.

Any ideas on the space issue?
I finally backed up, wiped data and reinstalled gingervolt 2.0. So far this seems to have fixed my issue.
You probably removed the cache directory, which made android fail to use it when booting.
Usually the dalvik-cache, which gets recreated on every reboot, is stored in there.
If your device is rooted you should have a look at "SD Maid", which will help you free some space. (link in my signature).

Here is the play store:

Try reinstalling link2sd I guess after running the apk I uploaded for you.

Bro, clearing dalvik cache by CWM doesn't affect any app. When you reboot the system, the phone rebuilds the required dalvik cache files. Your problem seems to be somewhat different...

Link2sd needs the dalvik cache to keep symbolic links of apps in the partition on boot. If you wipe dalvik, you mess up the structure and loose access to all apps on the partition.
Avoid wiping dalvik cache when using link2sd, unless you're changing roms (cuz you're wiping everything anyways).

My Internal Memory Free on PC and Device are different..

My Internal Memory Free on PC and Device are different..
why did this happen? is the other 500mb are reserved to system or what?
Is this only happen to me or everyone else?
If there is any solution please enlighten me, thanks
Not sure but try clearing cache, dalvik cache, use a file cleaner and clear history, etc..... this might make a difference, or simply reboot device.
