Hi all,

This is more an annoyance than a real problem.. nevertheless:

When testing my app on a device I go through several "installs",
although it's really the Eclipse plugin doing this for me.  After a
while (not very long) the device starts complaining about insufficient
storage.  It seems that progressive "re-installs" eats away the phone
storage even though the app being installed (presumably) is either
removed by Eclipse first or at least overwritten.

Interestingly if I use a task killer to kill everything on the phone
(which I only use for dev purposes btw), the available storage
indicator recovers and I can keep working.

As I said, it's more annoying than anything as the workaround.. well..
works, but I'm wondering if there is some sort of cache chewing up
storage?  More importantly, I'm a little concerned that the same may
happen with updates from the Market?  That is, the update effectively
replacing the current version of the app but leaving an allocation of
storage behind in its wake.

Anyone else seen this, and have an insight as to whether this is just
an eclipse/debug thing? (ie nothing to worry about).

Thanks.
