Any one have any ideas on this if you have lowish space left. Trying to install 11.4.1 and getting same error message. Finder says I have 18GB free and Appstore lising says that its 8.1GB so not sure why it can't install.
I read above that someone suggested that them having 17GB isn't enough space for the OS to run. My MacOS has 75GB and my Windows has 175GB as I only use MacOS for XCode and have a few utilities (Avast, Git, BBEdit, Slack) - What is the minimum space macOS needs, when installing it doesn't indicate that it needs to have minimum space to run efficiently. Surely having 20gb free would be sufficient?
Any advice on this would be great, as I did shrink my Windows partition by 25GB, but can't find a way to expand my macOS one with the extra 25GB which is free on the drive now. I assumed this would be fairly simple, but looks like I may have to reinstall both systems to alter the sizes. Would rather do this once I have an indication of what macOS needs to run.
Me also getting same problem whenever I try to update Xcode. At least it should show update size of any app. It doesn't show update size for any app in App Store. How can we know which update is consuming how much data? If it explicitly asks that I want exactly this much of space for installing updates then we can do something about it. Without showing update size it simply goes on asking for more space for whatever free space we provide. Anyway this problem was encountered when I updated from
Catalina 11.15 to Big Sur 11.0 (trouble moving Xcode from 12.4 (12D4e)) to 12.5
