"Not enough space error" on Android (4.3)

I have no idea why but when I'm trying to install apps I get the "not enough space" message and it just stops, and I don't get why. I've got 2.2Gb free space on the internal memory and some 9Gb on my SD card. I can't find anything about this that's actually useful. Can somebody help me? Please!

On some builds of Android it has a bug where it cant save info to the SD card eventhough there is free space. You need to reformat the SD card from within Android to get it working again.

But it doesn't even save to the SD card, it saves to the internal memory. I tried to switch it to the SD card but it didn't work. I installed 3 apps today and then nothing else will install. Or at least some apps will and some won't. I read that it's a cache problem but I can't even install cache fixer, nor can I install an antivirus to check for that.

Ok, as it turnes out it was probably my own bloddy fault. I did this because I couldn't set the default install local to the sd card inside the android os. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-install-apps-onto-your-SD-Card-No-Root/step2/Using-adb/

So probably this was the fault, I changed it back now to internal and it works now. I think I would have to reformat the sd card after setting it to default but it has too much stuff on it right now for me to do that. I'll try it sometime later if you guys think it would work.

I have the same problem. It started a week ago, and tells me that my storage is full, every few apps, that I want to install. I haven't found a fix yet.  I may have to switch to another custom rom.

I'll give it a try. Thanks
