Windows update needs space for update, but my C:\Windows folder is already eating up 57,3Gb on my 128Gb SSD. I also have about 3Gb left available on the drive, and Windows Update doesn't tell me how much space it needs, just "we need more space".

I have stripped my C: drive of everything I could, and I don't know what to do now... Is there a way to download the update to my other drive which has 400Gb of free space, or something like that ?

There is an ever-ongoing discussion about if compression makes the system faster or slower, but it definitely saves space.
So compress your complete C: drive (ignore files that come up as locked), do your update, and then uncompress if you don't want it permanently.
