When I got the message that I did not have enough space to update my Garmin was really puzzled as I had not used it much nor had I saved anything (on purpose, anyway). Think I went to the Garmin web site and searched for how to free up space for update or something like that.
Turns out my Garmin had something like 33 languages on it. Deleting all but English freed up plenty of space for the update.
Two cautions:
1) Be sure you DO NOT delete any language you might ever want to use
2) I could not find a means of deleting both spoken and text in a single step - so had to do the delete in two steps. They may have improved that by now.
It was not difficult but did take a couple of hours. After purging all the unwanted languages, the update went smoothly.
There are other files, vehicles, images etc that can safely be deleted if you don't need them but I did not find it necessary to delete anything other than the excessive languages.
The only major handicap in life is a bad attitude!
