    in my case, it was the anti-virus bloquing the update and falsely reporting a low disk problem. Disabled the anti-virus and suddenly everything worked.

You just need a ton of free space on your disc.
I was able to install the update - now I'm sitting here with 157 GB free storage, but at least the update is done :D
I needed around 75 GB to install the update, most of it was free again as soon as the update was finished.

    Try clearing the cache in the Origin/EA app.

    In the EA app in the top left corner there's a burger menu.

    Select the last option in the "help" menu.

    If that doesn't do the trick try reinstalling the EA app.

      @PickIe_Rick_360 So for anyone here click "App Recovery" you wont find a clear cache button anywhere.
