Reload error - There is not enough space on the disk error message

Hi kevbrown1980,
Likely cause: Power BI Desktop writes all refresh/temp data to your C drive (Analysis Services workspace and TEMP), not to the drive where the PBIX is saved. A refresh can need 2X–3X the final model size while building partitions. If C drive is low on space, you’ll get “not enough disk space” even if D drive has plenty of space left.
Quickest Fix you can try - Free up space on C drive by following below steps:
- In Desktop: File > Options > Data Load > Clear cache. Disable “Auto date/time” and “Background data”.
- Close Power BI Desktop.
- Delete contents of below folders:
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\AnalysisServicesWorkspaces
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\Traces
- %TEMP%
