HP Laptop BIOS Installation Error "BIOS_U~1"

When I tried to install the BIOS update notification from the HP Support Assistant program, a warning window of "BIOS_U~1" appeared.

There is not enough free disk space to complete the System
BIOS and Device Firmware update operation. Delete some
files to free disk space then retry again.


What? I have enough disk space right now, so why am I getting this warning? The reason this warning appears is because the 'Recovery Partition' is full.

In the end, the method to solve the BIOS installation error is simple.
Just create an 'HP Recovery Partition' using the USB memory stick left at home.
