The current blockchain size is 402.55 GB for Apr 25 2022

Op should have some extra files than the bitcoin node on that disk, move them to a USB or external drive and it should work fine.

That data is either not accurate or obtained from different full node implementation. Blockchain size on my device (using Bitcoin Core) is almost 430GB. You also need to include chainstate which has size about 4.7GB and index (txindex and blockfilter) which has size 43GB.

And I would recommend a bigger disk, at least 1TB to avoid this kind of problems. The blockchain is growing up fast.

I agree.
