Handling 'Insufficient Space' During a Firmware Update
Overview: Handling 'Insufficient Space' During a Firmware Update — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Updates should be driven from inside the official app — back up first, run the checks in order and restart the device when prompted.
Action steps:
- Uninstall apps you don't need on the device to free storage.
- Keep private keys on the device; uninstalling an app does not touch funds.
- Run the firmware update again once space is available.
- Reinstall the apps you actually use afterwards.
- Log the storage changes so you can audit the install list later.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
