Get rid of Google Play Service updates

If you're still facing issues while installing apps, try uninstalling the Google Play Service update.

To do this, go to Settings > storage > phone storage (or could be internal storage, used space) > apps > Google Play services. Then click on the Uninstall updates. Do note that you just have to uninstall the updates, not the app itself.

Move data to SD card

Generally, all the apps are downloaded and installed in your phone's memory. So, if you run out of space on your phone, try moving few apps to SD card to make some room for new apps.

For moving apps to SD card, go to Settings > apps, tap on the app you intend to move to SD card to land into the App info page. You'll see MOVE TO SD CARD option on scrolling down in the app info page. Click on it and you are good to go. Do note that sometimes the 'move to SD card' option is greyed out to indicate that it cannot be moved to SD card.
