There is a possibility that the problem isn't a memory storage. Sometimes Android fails while updating your app and generates several packages with different names of your app. And, in simple words, next time Android won't understand which package it should update.

Next time try this:

Run

adb shell "pm uninstall <full.packge.name>"
adb shell "rm -rf /data/app/<full.package.name>-*"

These commands will delete all versions of your app and the problem should disappear.

    @benc most of the cases (but not all, of course) the problem is not just a storage space – tim_baton Jan 10 '19 at 18:56

This error comes if your device dont has memory required by your App(Project).

Solution: Just remove apps which you dont needed or get a device with more storage space.
