Windows 10: Cant install April 2018 update, not enough space - 32 gb drive

I have an low end HP stream with 32 gb storage. I can't free up 8gb of space, primarily because my Windows folder by itself has over 20gb of used space. I have tried to do it from a USB and an external HD with no luck.


Any suggestions?

How to install Windows 10 November update on 32 GB computer

I am trying to update to 1511. I have a new, blank 16 GB USB drive inserted. When I get the statement that Windows needs more space and there is dropdown list of options I choose to use the USB drive for the needed space. I then get a statement that I
need to free up about 4 GB on my C drive. I deleted a few things off the hard drive but I have no idea what I could delete or move to get 4 GB of free space. 28 of 32 GB is in use.

I have read that the update KB3124260 is designed to help but I have no idea how to install it. My automatic Windows Update does not seem to ever choose it. I downloaded it from the Microsoft Update Catalog but it does not appear to have been installed.
I don't see how to manually force an update from the C drive.

Any suggestions?

 

out of space on drive E after April 2018 update

My Surface got force updated on May 10, 2018 with a very long "April" update. Ever since then I'm getting a warning that space is low on drive E which is empty and has a little and old recycle bin and two empty directories I can't access.

 

Windows 10 Creator Update & Sufficient Installation Space in Small Dell Laptops 32 GB Hard Drive

Windows 10 Creator Update needed more memory than my Dell Inspiron 14 3542 had; 6.78 gb vs 8 gb. Ultimately dumped my whole Dell diagnostic & service packages, my McAfee, and some minor Apps & then, yes, by the update tool, it then had the 8 gb + some
to perform the update download & install. Had been frustrating, since a comparable Lenovo had updated perfectly with a 32 GB hard drive. Can re-install those Dell tools after install. That the MSN owned DELL had been unable to load & turn around an update
file was odd; just make the space from the DELL Registration & Service tools. That 32 gb on the efficient 'emmc' Inspiron 14 Touch is tight, but now ok.

Its capacity to upgrade is correctly listed in the DELL models survey of the update's suitability.
