1- Clean your C: drive, which is the usual default drive for Windows. You right click C drive, select properties and then click Disk Cleanup.

2- Go to those specific Windows Update folders that are in my first post and just delete them entirely. Reboot. Do Windows Update again. No worries, Windows will recreate those folders. If this doesn't work, I'd suggest going to the official Microsoft forums for help at:
