I am trying to perform data-recover recovery using extundelete (which didn't help) and ext4magic on a live USB and it requires me to update, upgrade and install the packages. (and some times apt-get -f install) in order to prepare for the recovery command.
The issue that it's always popping up that disk is almost out of space and I can't install any packages at all, can't even apt-get upgrade.
I tried another media but same issue occurred, could it be something to do with the swap memory? If so, any clue how to resize it without affecting the partition to be restores?
In case it's not the swap memory, what could it possibly be? Do I have to boot as EFI mode instead of USB mode?

More details would be helpful because it's hard to tell which of many possibilities is the problem. As user605236's answer describes, it could be that the live session doesn't provide for it. Or, it could be a "persistent" setup that supports saving content that survives the session but your USB drives lack adequate space. Or, configuration might be required for where to save things. Describe all of the hardware, software options (plus add links to the products), error messages (including circumstances), etc. – fixer1234 – 2016-06-12T02:15:36.793
If you accept an alternative solution, just download a distro with those tools preinstalled, like System Rescue CD.
