Hi,
i don't know what is your experience with computers. I will suggest a 
logical procedure to help you.

- run the osmand and try to backup your settings, tracks, history, etc. 
then exit
- run a file manager into your smartphone device and locate the osmand app 
working folder with the maps files. Then 1. rename the root folder of 
osmand app with a strange name like "christmas" or 2. move (not copy) the 
folder into another safe place
- visit android settings - apps , found the osmand and make .... stop the 
app, clear data, clear cache, uninstall the app. reboot the device
- visit google store and install again the app
- run again the fresh install and restore your settings. exit the app
don't use the default option of hidden folder on first run, change this 
option 
i will suggest to install the new fresh osmand into this folder
/storage/emulated/0/android/data/

- run again the file manager and manually move *one by one* all the maps 
files from old install, into the new fresh folder at the same locations
