Fritz_S where your emulator is installed, there is a bin/config.ini file. In that file, find and update the line:

disk.dataPartition.size=2G

Try 3G? You can also set/adjust the SD card size, and possibly allow the apps to be installed there?

Fritz_S in debug mode without any linking, Xamarin apps can be pretty large, some things you can try:

- Linking (Sdk Assemblies Only, might already be enabled)

- turn on Use Shared Runtime, which will only install Mono once (only for debug builds, this shouldn't be used for release). this mainly helps if you have multiple Xamarin apps on the emulator that you're testing.

- delete other test apps to free up space (Settings > Applications).

- delete your app manually before attempting to re-deploy.

- increase the space available to the emulator.
