'Not enough space on disk' ....can't save work
I keep getting this error and can't save my work. I have plenty of space available, but this keeps coming up.
Anyone know of a method around this?
Using S2 btw.

Hi Graham - Ashley's reply did it for me - try these steps:
Open Windows Explorer, type %temp% in the address field, and press Enter.
When your temp directory opens, press Ctrl+A to select all the temp files, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
A few temp files may currently be in use that can't be deleted. When prompted, you can skip those.
You can now save your project file. - GrahamOKeeffe-0Community Member
Tried that and no joy...still getting the stupid message "The project "Storyline" is locked by another process.

Hi, Graham -- To reiterate what Ashley suggested, were you able to see if importing that file into a new one allows it to work well? What about in a brand new file that you've ensured is saved to your local drive? If issues persist, you are welcome to share your file or a sample here so we can take a look, or since you mentioned you are on tight deadline, you are welcome to work directly with our Support Staff.

Hi Guys,
The issue was Dropbox!
When I turned that off the problem went away!
Thank you for your help!

Hi all,
I'm having the same issue with disk space. I've disconnected & deleted my dropbox from my computer, moved a lot of files out of the hard drive and freed up a lot of space, but still getting the "no disk space" error. I wanted to try the temporary files suggestion above but I have a macbook and use VMware as my windows platform so I'm not able to access the temporary files the same way. Can anyone suggest any other solutions?
Hi Tria,
I'm not a Mac user, so I can't say for certain another way to remove the temporary files, so I'll hope that other Mac users weigh in.
Glad that CK1's idea resolved the issue for you - thanks for letting us know Nicholas.

Nickolas, glad I could help. BTW, I'm still going back every couple of months and having to clear out this temp file.
Glad to see that this thread is still assisting users Stevi-lee :) Thanks for popping in to share.
