On Jelly Bean, using FX with root, I noticed duplicate files in /data/app-asec/, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `com.disney.WMW-1.asec` (56,9 MB)
|
||
|
|
* `com.disney.WMW-2.asec` (56,9 MB)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It looks like one is obsolete and consuming almost 60MB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I deleted the older ones of the duplicates and also renamed all files to have the suffix `-1`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a reboot, some apps were not working. The launcher showed a "app is not installed" message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After some more research, I found the file `/data/system/packages.xml` which contains lines like these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% highlight xml %}
|
||
|
|
<package name="com.disney.WMW" codePath="/mnt/asec/com.disney.WMW-2/pkg.apk" resourcePath="/mnt/asec/com.disney.WMW-2/res.zip" nativeLibraryPath="/mnt/asec/com.disney.WMW-2/lib" flags="0" ft="13ab353ea00" it="13484d822a3" ut="13ab3547873" version="16" userId="10214" installer="com.android.vending">
|
||
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I changed these lines to read `com.disney.WMW-1` and after one more reboot, all apps worked again. AND I had **500MB more free space**.
