disk full

No space left

Disk full is an error message indicating that a storage device—hard drive, solid-state drive, or removable media—has no remaining space to save new data.

The message typically appears when attempting to save a file or install software: I tried to download the update but got a disk full error.

Resolving it requires deleting files or moving data elsewhere.
