surprisingly it can i think you just need a helluva lot of space free. idk thats what someone told me to do and it worked
hm im not sure then, because it worked for me when i barely had maybe a little more or less than about 10-12 gb available. im sorry im not able to help more im just going off the advice someone else gave me
(forgot to add, but apparently it depends on the os and model of your phone, i scrolled down to my comment asking about it lol)
