But the fact is that: there is enough free space on the drive to save these files. Meanwhile, Windows suggests you to click “ Disk Cleanup” to free disk space by deleting old or unnecessary files, which seems exactly the same with “ hard drive is full” issue. Delete one or more files to free disk space, and then try again.“

While attempting to create or transfer large files onto an USB flash drive/external hard drive, an error message may appear:” There is not enough free space on the hard drive. Can anyone help me out? Seems like I’ve got plenty of free disk space to do this. The PST file is ~5.0 gigs and has already been compressed down from ~10 gigs. The drive is 8 gigs, I’ve got various files on there that take up ~2+ gigs, and about 5.7 gigs of space remaining. I’m trying to copy a large MS Outlook PST file from my work computer to a flash drive and am getting an error message saying I don’t have enough free disk space.
