memory full

No space left

Memory full is a system message indicating storage capacity has been exhausted—no more data can be saved until space is cleared.

The phrase appears on phones, cameras, and computers when you've run out of room: I couldn't take the photo because my phone said memory full.

Figuratively, someone might say their brain is memory full when overwhelmed with information.
