    How do I eliminate the error of 'insufficient storage available' at the Google Play Store?
    Community Answer
    Delete some of your apps and music, and move documents and pictures to your computer. PM and texting conversations can also take up a lot of space; consider deleting those you no longer need.

    You can only do that on a Chromebook. But in Chromebook, it is pre-installed. You cannot download if you have a Mac or Windows PC, only Chromebook.
