I mistakenly thought if I cleared the list it will delete all the apps I downloaded. Instead, it just cleared the downloaded apps from screen and I now have no way of deleting the downloads. What I can do to delete the downloads?
Settings, Application Manager.
:good:
Its not the app. It's the files that has to be downloaded to install apps. It's in the storage downloads but since I cleared the list, I can't see them and delete them.

Hi,
you must delete the app not easy but they have copy of it first to / data / app and then you can uninstall it normally.
Thus, the entries disappear.
Sorry for my bad English.
Greeting dollasmike
I did copy the file to the /data/app directory
and I did uninstall it like all the other apps that dont re-appear
i have deleted files in the /data/data/ directory
My definition of reappearing is after I have uninstalled my app and deleted everything, I restart my phon the app is gone
It does not show up anywhere, it is not anywhere
It is not in any /data directory
I can not find it anywhere,
I am happy
It is not present in the "Manage applications"
Later on it re-appears in the "Manage applications" as a 0byte app
Suddenly, I can't install or update large apps (roughly >10MB). I have plenty of free space, I've cleared Market data and cache. Any ideas?
(My tab is unrooted, so I can't delete any Market temp files)
EDIT: The cause from log is lack of space in /data/data/com.android/providers.downloads/cache
FIXED: Clearing cache in Download Manager
Hello,
I have removed one of the pre-installed apps from a Sharp Docomo SH-12C (Android 2.3.3). It is nothing vital, and does not affect system performance - an E-book reader app: jp.co.sharp.exapps.
First I updated the app, then integrated the update in /system/app - but it would crash on reboot, so I decided to get rid of it.
Unistalling didn't seem to wipe all data. I tried reinstalling but got a "Failed" message. Then I manually deleted the .apk and the .odex from /system/app.
The app name (jp.co.sharp.exapps), however, would still appear in the list of installed apps when viewed from Settings > Manage Applications. Eventually, I managed to "completely" remove it using ES File Manager's app manager.
But now I notice that some app info still exists in /data/system/packages.xml:
Code:
<updated-package name="jp.co.sharp.exapps" codePath="/system/app/EBook.apk" ft="14011d59a10" it="14011d59a10" ut="14011d59a10" version="2500" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/jp.co.sharp.exapps/lib" userId="10062">
<perms />
</updated-package>
.....
<shared-user name="jp.co.sharp.exapps" userId="10062">
<perms />
</shared-user>
I tried manually editing these off the file but the file gets restored on reboot.
I have deleted the folder and its contents from /data/data.
How does this info get written to packages.xml? Can I find the source and delete the app info from there?
I suspect that Sharp have implemented some extra security mechanism to their phones so that people can't simply freeze or delete system apps but have no idea what it might be. For example, if you freeze even one built-in app, and do a factory reset, the phone will go into a boot loop. I believe the same happens if you uninstall a system/app.
Ideas appreciated!
Did you trying deleting the package.xml file then wipe cache and dalvik cache?
i got same problem.Did you managed to solve it?
That persist on Android 11.
Fix for Google Play/market “Unknown error code during application install:’-24”"
This error usually comes up when you are trying to reinstall an app and it fails to install.
*Requires Root*
Go into Data/data and find the folder/file referring to that app and delete it
Also go to Data/app-lib and do the same (if it is there).
Chances are it is probably only in one location but check both. Usually what this will look like is a bunch of folders in there and the one you are having problems with will look like a file instead – regardless delete the folder/file for that app and then go to google play and it will install.
Also this will work for most TB issues as well but you may have to download the app and restore data only, I have had some work back restoring the app and then restoring data but more luck with just a fresh app from the market.
Many people have reported that this also works for them, just wanted to add it to the help and troubleshooting section.
Working solution of error 24
Method 1 (Sure Fix but requires root):
Install a file manager like Root Manager
Browse to internal storage android/data/com.whatsapp
Delete the com.whatsapp… folder
Now install whatsapp from Google Play

Thanks I fixed mine, my "-24" error came up after I try to restore my GS3. In order to get the install to go through you have to delete the existing folder of the associated app first
Root Manager > Root/data/user/0 > find any app folder you are having trouble installing (the name is either by app name or maker's name > confirm & delete.
try to reinstall the app from Play Store and it should work. (In my case I think it's because i have a list of apps from my other acct and during the restore session somehow the Play Store was confused and couldn't verify the app install.)
thanks worked fine.
i face this issue whnever i clean dalvik cache thrugh Link2SD plus
Hi,
every time when I'm installing updates on my Samsung Phone I can see that the system has to update 400+ apps.
I think it's because of the "empty" folders or left over Data form pervious installed apps.
Is there a tool that scans my phone for data like this and deletes it.
Thx
