So I have 40 GB left on my HDD. I am trying to install a 6GB update but running into the error: Not enough storage space to allocate a set of contiguous free area.
I can understand if my update size was closer to the free space, but with 6 times more free space available why do i see this error. I understand the common response would be delete few games and it would go away... but is there anything else which could solve this?
Also if i delete the .pkg under /user/CUSAxxxxx/ would that game still work (i am thinking it has been installed and .pkg file is for reinstall purpose if some corruption happens?). Would this way of freeing space work?
BTW i read you need game + update size to install. In my case game is 15 GB so game + update = 21GB which is still less than 40GB free. So that doesnt seem to explain the issue.
