inadequate disk space??

[Ghost42]

Just done some alterations to a route/session and on trying to save it tells me I have inadequate disk space.
There is 54 gig available, I am stumped, the only thing I can think of is to walk away and hope autosave rescues me
Windows 10 and Tane.

Most PC's are clogged with thousands of photos/videos/music/documents ... best transferred to an external HD, or another low end PC ... or dedicate a higher end PC just for Trainz

FREE Glary Utilities can help you clean up, optimize, and defrag your PC

Also you should clear out your history and Temp files weekly, if not daily

Have you got automatic backups set in Trainz Settings on 7? This will chew up your disc space like Billy-ho. Set to 1 at max.

You might want to periodically run a disk clean up and remove junk such as temporary internet files, windows installation temp files, and other program temp files.

To get there quickly, Open up Computer (This PC in Win10). Right-click on your hard drive, choose properties, and choose Disk clean up.

Generally the basic settings are fine for this.

Don't forget that files cannot share sectors on your hard-drive so even if the file is only a few bytes it may still tie up perhaps 64Kbyte if your drive is formatted to NTFS although most of it will still show as available space. 54GB is a lot but by the time you consider paging files for Windows etc and what may be left in recycle bins it doesn't go all that far with today' bloatware.
