Xcode "There is not enough disk space available to install the product." with plenty of space.

at 4.4 ish GB, my late 2013 MB Pro's internel SSD with 7.9 GB available ought to be able to handle size requirements for this update, I would think. Or, would have thought. Still, it said no, so I freed up a bit more space. Xcode still responds with "There is not enough disk space available to install the product."
Why is that?

I need more memory space for the future if it's possible. I need more helpful programs which can help to create and design any programmings in the future.

Thanks

Faced the same issue recently and the steps below helped:

  1. Quit the Mac App Store.
  2. Delete directory ~/Library/Caches/storedownloadd
  3. Relaunch Mac App Store.
