Simple enough question, why is my PS4 lying to me?

It's a problem I've had for awhile now, pretty much every time I want to download something it's like "not enough space" and I have to delete stuff despite being sure that whatever I'm downloading should be able to fit on the remaining space I have. But now I'm trying to download an update, just an update not even a full game, and my PS4 is still saying to delete unnecessary stuff as there isn't enough space. So go over to storage and see... Free Space: 41.58GB WTF Sony?

Edit: turns out it was a 21GB update, which is pretty sizable but should surely still fit on to the 41GB of free hard drive space... yet PS4 said no

because the drive needs space for both the downloaded update and the patching/verification process, which invariably means needing around twice the available space as the size of the update.
