How to Increase Storage for Android Emulator? (Install_Failed_Insufficient_Storage)

How to increase storage for Android Emulator? (INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE)

Update

This answer is, as I write this, nearly eight years old, and about five years stale. But it's still (as I write this) the "accepted" answer, because it answered the question when it was asked.

The newer answer, that applies to the newer Android Studio tools, can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35828035/62 -- it's a great answer with screen shots. If you're using Android Studio, ignore the Eclipse answer below.

Original Eclipse-based Answer

I was searching for the answer to this question, and was unsatisfied with the above answers. But then I found the answer, so here it is for future reference:

To summarize (and clarify), in Eclipse, go to "Debug Configurations". You can find that in the drop-down under the "debug" icon. Select "target", and select a preferred emulator target to launch. Then under "additional emulator command line options," add this:

-partition-size 1024

Then CLOSE the emulator (and remove any devices), and click the debug icon, which will launch the preferred emulator you selected. This is important: Eclipse needs to launch the debugger, not AVD.

That fixed the problem for me.

Android Studio [Install_Failed_Insufficient_Storage]

How much storage do you have free? The system won't let the free storage space go below 200-300MB. Also, please don't end your package name with a dot(this may be the issue, but the error message suggests otherwise)

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE

you need to increase virtual memory of emulator

How to increase virtual memory of emulator

\\emulator -avd "Emulator Name" -partition-size 500

if any doubt then see all comment of this question

INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE Error when i ran npm run android command

Your device does not have enough space, try making space by removing unwanted files on your device(Emulator/Phone)
