Unable to open Power BI Desktop on my Remote Desktop

I am unable to open and use the Power BI Desktop

The message I get is: There is not enough space on the disk.

I am a new user, just started Training for Data Analysis. I just bought my laptop, Refurbished and it works very well. So, I don't understand the error message and why I won't have enough disk space.

Kindly advise urgently please. Thanks

Thank you for your response.

I just bought this laptop few days ago.

My Laptop is:

Dell XPS 13 (9370), Standard, 13.3" FHD (1920 x 1080), Webcam, 1x Intel Core i7 Quad (i7-8550U) 1.80 GHz, 16 GB, 512 GB, No Optical, Intel Integrated Graphics, UK Backlit Keyboard, 64-bit Windows 10 Pro

I downloaded and installed the Power BI Desktop on my Microsoft Remote Desktop. So, when I try to open it and work, first it is slow and then this message pops up: There is not enough space on Disk.

What do I do, please? How do I create more space? I would have thought that 16 GB is a lot of space.

@Annetrayte , Check you have 8-16 GB of RAM and free harddisk space of 20 GB.

 

May be disk on which power bi installed as no space or RAM is all busy with other operations
