2) Internal Storage

Any android user must have at least 300MB memory free for the android applications to function normally.

You can also stop some of the applications which consume a lot of RAM.

If the issue persists, follow the next step.

3) Updated Device

A user must keep their smartphone up to date. You must regularly check for updates as the old software might cause errors like this one. The applications should also be updated regularly.

If you are not receiving any bugs, then the error was caused because of the malfunctioning of the SD card.
