Win10 fails update - insufficient memory

A friend has a laptop computer that repeatedly starts to upgrade it's Win10 but fails due to insufficient space. He has asked me to remove all of the stuff (bloat) that he never needs. Another thread on here suggests that Win10 installs a fresh suite and retains the previous version? Is this correct and is it a necessary way to get the upgrade?

The thing is about 2 or 3 years old and I have no idea how many upgrades have already occurred.

My instinct tells me to stop automatic upgrades......... What do you all think?

Alternatively, is there a safe easy way to remove the left over stuff and previous installs, if there are any?

Thanks,

Rans6.........................
