Delete one or more files to free up space then try again"... error. I've rebooted, and I am sure there is more than 4GB free on the hard drive. Any ideas? Is there some max size for a file that you can transfer to a hard drive? I've never heard of that.. but I guess anything is possible. Thanks for reading!

There Is Not Enough Space On The Disk
trying to copy a large MS Outlook PST file from my work computer to a flash drive (drive: http://www3.pny.com/category_buymulti.aspx?Category_ID=456) and am getting an error message saying can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format I don't have enough free disk space. 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. The PST file is ~5.0 gigs and has already been compressed down from https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-not-enough-free-disk-space-but-there-is.409123/ ~10 gigs. Can anyone help me out? Seems like I've got plenty of free disk space to do this. Conversely, if this approach won't work, can I buy a cable of some sort that will allow me to connect two computers and transfer the file from my work PC to my home Mac? Thanks, Adam More about : usb drive error free disk space WyomingKnott a c 395 G Storage 30 March 2011 03:58:00 This probably isn't the issue, but what filesystem is the USB drive formatted http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/267847-32-drive-error-free-disk-space with? There are file size limits for various filesystems. For Fat32, 4 GB. For Fat16, 2GB. For NTFS, it's not going to be the source of your problem. I just put my USB key in this machine, and the file format is FAT32. No files over 4 GB for me. As to the final question, the most common such cable is a network cable; can you copy the file over your home network? m 0 l SFquestion 30 March 2011 04:17:19 Ah hell, I'm a FAT32.

Cannot copy file. There is not enough free disk http://www.patrickomalley.com/cannot-copy-file-there-is-not-enough-free-disk-space-delete-files.html space. Delete one or more files to free disk space, and then try again You get the following error which says "Cannot copy file. There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space, not enough and then try again. To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Cleanup." Here is a possible problem: If the file is greater than 4 Gb in size, i.e. 4,000,000 Kb in size, and the not enough space target disk was formatted using the file format FAT32, you can't have any file that size on the target drive. That's why it won't copy, but the idiots at Microsoft don't tell you that in the error message. Instead, they send you on a wild goose chase deleting disk space. To find out if the target disk is formatted as FAT32, click My Computer right click the drive look at the Properties, which should say FAT32 or NTFS If this helped, please email me!
