Hi All,
I reviewed few posts around this but could not find it conclusive. I am using Power BI desktop. It is installed in C:\ I am doing dev work in C: but do not save any .pbix files on C:
I keep getting There is not enough space on the disk error message periodically. Somehow the C: keeps getting full.
I periodically remove everything from: .../AppData/Local/Temp folder and clear up the recycle bin.
This does not seem to fix the problem for a longer run. The C has 100 GB and it goes down to 10-20 MB and the machine slows down. I do not run other resource intensive applications on the machine.
Can power bi desktop be the culprit? If so, how would I get around this problem? Thanks a lot for any help someone can provide.

Hi Prashant,
In "You can also check your cache size by going to Options -> Global -> Data Load -> Data Cache Management Options" . You can clear the cashe see button below. This should fix the issue.
You may check if the following post helps.

Thank you for your response.
I had reviewed this post prior to creating new post myself. This did not seem to answer the question I believe.
I am already clearing off %temp% which points to: ../AppData/Local . I am doing it almost everyday.
When it says: make sure you have enough space in user folder, are you referring to the location where the dev is done? (The dev is done in C:\ where I have 100 GB total, 15-20 MB free space.) Increasing space on C: may not be the solution. The reason is: last time this happened, IT helped reclaiming space by about 20 GB but after that without running anything significant on the machine except power bi dev work, the C: got filled up again which prompts me to believe that power bi dev work is filling up the space somewhere that I am not aware of. If I don't understand where is it, then the problem will keep recurring.
Lastly, on the statement "You can also check your cache size by going to Options -> Global -> Data Load -> Data Cache Management Options"
Can you elaborate little more, where to look? Where would i find this location? what should be expected as a cache size there?
Thanks again.

Hi ppgandhi11,
In Power BI go to File--> Options and Settings --> Options -->Global -> Data Load -> Data Cache Management Options". Clear the cache below.
Hi Prashant,
Did you ever resolve your issue? I'm experiencing the same thing with a couple of users.
Thanks
Jeff
