PowerBI Desktop Memory Issue

Hello, 

 

Im having an issue in my PowerBI Desktop where I cannot refresh my data because of memory. I have tried several solutions for this, for example raising my data cache to max and removing almost all DAX functions from my data. There is also no caluclations or tables that cross with each other. Furthermore, my workspace on the website says its being refreshed just fine. Does anyone know anything else that I can try to fix this? Thanks.
