According to that, Time Machine is active and you have local snapshots. From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine

30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.

Restart your Mac after deleting data to see a difference in storage space.
The download is an archive that has to be unpacked. There has to be enough space for the archive and the unpacked files to exist at the same time; in other words, about twice as much as the size of the download, plus a safety margin of at least 9 GB. So you would need at least about 40 GB of available space to install the app.
Apart from not being able to install a huge app, you have adequate free space. There's no danger of a boot failure.

What kind of Mac do you have? Do you back up with Time Machine?

How much free space is shown in the Storage display under About This Mac?

I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.
