Report saving error and PBIX file automatically deleted from file folder
I'm jumping into this issue rather than starting my own thread, we'll see how this goes.
I've been having a really bad issue for about a month now where I eventually get an error 'System out of memory' or not 'Unable to Save Document - An error occurred while trying to save ...... not enough storage is available to process this command. Once I get these errors, even though my report is still open in Power BI Desktop, the actual file from the file location that I opened it from is gone. I have no options at this point because I'm unable to save the report and once I close the report without saving the file is essentially deleted.
This has happened about 30 times over the last month and is very frustrating. It's to the point that I save copy's of files every couple of minutes so that if this does happen I only lose a few min of work.
Something I stumbled across today was that while the file is being deleted there is a copy of the report (Looks like the last temp save from desktop) is available at Power BI Desktop/TempSaves folder. From there I'm able to open up the last file in there and pretty much get back everything that I lost.
The issue as stated in this thread and others is that the .pbix file is completed deleted from my machine. If i launch a new session of Desktop I can see the file name in my recent files but clicking on it informs me that this file is no longer available.
I've looked through the dumps and logs and can't see anything that is even referencing the 'system out of memory' error.
Thoughts? Suggestions? This is very frustrating and I have no clue what to look for.
