Thank you so much! Application of Method 1 and Method 2 did the job. Your explanation is by far the clearest of the many I found on the web. Glad I did not have to go to the “nuclear option” – factor reset.

I’m trying to install a new video player and am getting this error. I’m most appreciative of your info but am a newbie at fixing issues. If I “clear data” from media storage will it erase everything I have saved on my tablet? I’m apprehensive to do anymore until I know. Thanks!
