How to update on an SSD with "only" 50GB free space?

FOUND A SOLUTION:
From the folder ESO\The Elder Scrolls Online\depot delete enough .dat files so that there is sufficient free space for the upgrade.
I have ESO on a 180GB SSD along with a few other programs, which leaves the drive with 50GB free space. Unfortunately the ESO launcher still tells me I do not have enough free space to upgrade.
How much space is minimum needed for the upgrade? Maybe my only option will be a complete uninstall then fresh installation?

Dosuul✭✭✭You can upgrade the game on a bigger HD and after it finished move it back to the SSD ?2 -

I just deleted the data files in the ESO folder. Not sure how it's gonna turn out, but it's downloading now. My guess (hope) is that it'll just patch everything & repair if needed.Edited by Langeston on February 24, 2020 9:14AM1 -

Simply move the folder from the SSD to a HD and start the launcher from inside the folder on the HD.

fetito666✭✭✭I uninstalled the Steam files, but it downloads again 90 GB. Shouldn't be the new client size be like 60 GB?1 -

I'm not on steam, but I think steam downloads an old version on the game and the ESO patcher patches it up to the current version, I guess it would be better to simply update the client... which is what ZoS suggests btw, too.0 -

This solution worked perfectly, thank you very much kind soul!
I had the same issue with a 256gb SSD, I had around 50gb of free space and the laucher said the space is not enough.0
