In such a scenario, Microsoft KB2518812 recommends that you sync your phone’s media content with your computer using Zune and then temporarily remove media from your phone.
If the update is now successful, you can sync your media back to your phone.
If not, remove a few apps and then try the update again.
If it works now, fine! If not, remove a few games instead and then try the update again.
