hap lite not enough space for update

how i’m able to update if free space is 7.0MB and the update is 7.2MB?

try to reboot first to clean some memory…

Done several times. No additional packages are installed. Always to few memory for the actual update.

Then something is corrupted.
Make a backup and an export (when you have valuable info in your config) and then do a netinstall with format, and reload the backup.
(the export is just to have a readable version of the config in case things go really bad)

don’t use the flash dir or subdirs. these are on limited flash, rest is in memory and you’ll be able to write more but limited to your available mem.

Edit: see the attachment in additional post below

I don’t know what you mean with dont use flash dir. Normally i click on download and install and everything is going alone

Under the Winbox tool, go to the “Files” menu option. Clear out anything there you’re not using.

Are all the files i see in root dir only in ram drive? Because i saw an npk file there

files under flash are in flash storage. See screenshot: the “large_file” is to big for flash sotrage (only 5m free) but it fits just fine in ramdrive part.

Thank you, and how I access the ramdrive? May i delete all the folders and files shown in your Screenshot . I mean the ones in my files folder. To get more space free.

For standard home use you can remove safely all files and folders from File List
(flash folder cannot be removed but all sub folders yes)

Did you already try to power it off and on instead of using “reboot”?

i think so, but i’m not sure. i will be at the installed hap lite in some hours. i did not have access all the day. only every second weekend. so thats why i asked und try all the suggestions today, when i’m in place. :wink:

Files not within “flash” path are indeed in ramdrive.

so then i think: the npk file i see last time, was in ramdrive. i will see in two hours.

After deleting the folders i saw in Mikrotik-App (on android device) i still got several times the message, shown in attached image.
But finally it worked after several tries and restarts.

I’s a dead thread but maybe someone’ll find it useful: connect to the router via ftp and examine the files. in my case, a backpup file which was reported in winbox as 2 Mbytes big was as large as 80 Mbytes when seen via ftp. I deleted the file, rebooted the router and was able to upgrade.
