hi,so i had previously run out of storage for downloads, i did a google search on how to resolve this and it was suggested that i chnage the save file location.i followed the instructions given and could see that i had new volume d and e with plenty of gb free [just under 1k] but despite all my best efforts i was still getting the notification that i dont have enough free space when downloading. somehwere amongst the chaos something about onedrive popped up! offering a subscription for 1tb of storage to which i have subscribed.....but alas im still being told not enough free space!? what am i doing wrong? im at my witts end! need someone to explain it to me like im 5. thanks in advance.

    Hello Rio Edwards,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum

    The message “not enough free space” can come from either your local drive or OneDrive. Can you take a screenshot of the message? It could help me identify better where the message come from.

    In the meantime, you can take a look at this site on how to free up disk space:

    Feel free to reply back to this post to update me on your issue, I'll await your update.
