Disk Space Issue hindering Importing and Exporting files.

vamsi

Hello, I have tried to do some edits, some were successful and some weren't because it says there no space left. I am using a gaming PC. C Drive has 200GB data with more than 50GB free space, but when I try to import or export files, an error message pops up saying there is no space to carry out the task and when I check the properties, miraculously it says space left is 0mb. I tried to move the cache files from C to D which has more than 80Gb free space, still same result. Unable to import or export files cause there is no space. And the space left is 0MB as per the properties tab.

Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Has the VP cache reached the designated limit as shown in Options/Disk? Have you ever emptied the cache after completing previous projects if so it may be full? Try saving your project (As) and then clearing the cache. Reload the saved vpj file and see if it comes back.

Hi, though I am emptying the cache as shown in Options/Disk, the cache folder file size is increasing and consuming too much space. Which is causing a problem to import and export files.

It appears that the PC is capable, and disk space is ample.

Install and launch this version, clear the cache (which likely will be empty), then load the project.

For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info.

If problems persist, please share the project. Someone will take a look and come up with a fix. The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps...

Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view"
Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared.

* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
