File Disappears from the Source Folder after Getting an Error Message

[HabibAdil]

Hi Community Members,

I frequently get an error message on different power bi files and after closing the error message, the file disappears from the folder where it was saved. I don't have a screen shot of the message, but it says that power bi cannot save a file as there is not enough space on the disk. I have enough space on the disk. This problem is even worse when I am working remotely.

Many Thanks, Habib

Hi @HabibAdil ，

Do you mean that the you cant save the .pbix files locally by desktop? Can you take a screenshot when you are about to save the .pbix file?

Best Regards,
Kelly

Hi @v-kelly-msft 

Thanks for your reply. The problem is not that I cannot save the changes I make to the previously saved file, but the whole file vanishes without a trace from the folder where it was stored. 

I am sure the same will happen again, I will get a screen shot of the error and post it here.

Kind Regards,

Habib
