Error: Not enough storage space

Solutions

The Xbox 360 console software needed for Kinect requires 190 megabytes (MB) of storage space.

If you do not have 190 MB of free space, you can delete some items. Here’s how:

  1. Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings.
  2. Select Storage or Memory.
