Let's go to the applications section on our mobile phone and look for Google Play Store.

Once you are inside the applications section and Google Play (all phone settings usually have a search, try putting 'installed applications' or similar) We proceed to clear the cache of the application data.We restart the phone and try to download it again. If it continues to give an error, it is best to delete the conflicting account and create it again.
