Not enough memory to perform update

I guess this is something I hadn’t encountered before since I had always been using phones with a minimum of 16gb storage.

My aunt is now using the Lumia 530 which I set up for her some weeks ago.  But she’s unable to complete the requested update because there isn’t enough space on the phone.

Oh,  get a memory card!  Transfer data to the card!  Nope.  Moving all the apps over does nothing.  Basically everything than can be moved or deleted has taken that route.  655mb. I Need 900+ for the update.  What a total joy.  Thank you 4gb of generous space.  

Being able to delete email or whatever is eating 130mb would help a little but otherwise nothing really to get close to the target other than wiping the phone.

Is this just me being silly and not realising some obvious way to get more free memory or is this another form of silly where the compromises in a device make it too frustrating to use that it belongs in flight towards a brick wall.  

I’m glad the 535 exists as that fixes pretty much everything inane about compromise101phone aka 530.
