Xcode "There is not enough disk space available to install the product." with plenty of space.

at 4.4 ish GB, my late 2013 MB Pro's internel SSD with 7.9 GB available ought to be able to handle size requirements for this update, I would think. Or, would have thought. Still, it said no, so I freed up a bit more space. Xcode still responds with "There is not enough disk space available to install the product."
Why is that?

What kind of joke is this. I delete all my projects delete all the files. shift my data to external drive. I clean all the caches. and finally when I make 40 GB space it started updated event on 39 GB it didn't start updating. I request to apple please make this easy for us we have 128 gb ssd please.

I've tried to update macOS(I'm running Catalina 10.15.7) but it didn't help so I removed Xcode and downloaded entire 11,2 GB from App Store and it works :)
