Ran out of memory upgrading to Windows 10

I just bought a new netbook with a 32gb ssd. It asked to install windows 10 from 8.1 but needed an extra 9 gigs of space.. There are no programs big enough to remove to get that space.. Can I use a usb drive to finish the install and then remove it later, or will I need to delete the big recovery partition and start from there.. It's new, so I'm not really wanting to wipe the whole drive and do a fresh install that way.. What are my best options? Asus EeeBook X205TA-HAT m0103

see if you can delete the hibernation part of your drive... will free up a good bit of space and can be restarted once you have windows 10 installed.

Ok. I have only had this netbook for a few hours and haven't even checked the partitions yet. I went straight into downloading the win 10 update. I didn't even know there was a hibernation partition. I'll see how much space it's using.
