Help . . . I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Air from Big Sur 11.6.8 to Monterey. The system told me I needed more space, about 12 GB, so I deleted over 40 GB of files (I backed them up first). The system continues to tell me I need more space. First it said I needed 2 GB and I deleted about 5 GB, then,, after another reboot, it told me I needed 3 GB more space. None of this makes sense to me.
Do you have any tips?

Reindex the hard drive for Spotlight: How to rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support and see if that gives you the correct free space and will let you continue with the install.
If it doesn't boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and and do the installation from there.
