MacOS Mojave Boot Camp issues

sleep

<p>Recently I have reinstalled my MacBook Pro and updated it with MacOS Mojave installation&period; Since I have the need to dual boot Windows 10 I&&num;8217&semi;ve used Mojave Boot Camp to guide me through the process&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The problems started once I have tried to create a bootable USB drive with Boot Camp using my Windows 10 Enterprise &sol; Pro image&period; The first error I have received was&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Your bootable USB drive could not be created&period; There is not enough space available on the disk&period;<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"alignnone size-full wp-image-2998" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;wincert&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2019&sol;03&sol;boot-camp-usb-error&period;png" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"400" height&equals;"160" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I have received this error although I was using a USB 3&period;1&comma;
