Keep running out of disk space?

[Scoobert Doobert]

I just cleared up 4gb of space on my ssd a few hours ago while playing, now its telling me that I'm out of disk space again and can't save, looking at my files I now only have 150mb left of the original 4gb. Is there anything I can do? Why is this game taking up all my storage? It should be noted the game isn't even installed on my SSD, its on my Hard Drive. Any help?

the game save (character and world files) are located on the C drive.

the game itself (the game files) can be installed on another drive, but your saves will all be on the C drive no matter what drive the game is actually installed to.

i suggest clearing MORE space on your C drive if the game is saying it cant save... due to disk space limitations.

and FWIW, if you are dangerously close to filling the C drive to capacity .....it's not good... try to keep the C drive at a max of 85% filled... if you fill it to it's full capacity, deleting a mere 4GBs is not going to be enough...and you'll probably start running into the same issue with other games/programs.

delete/uninstall or start moving stuff to other drives not labeled C:

My game needs 1.4GB and my save 100MB. I have no idea what you are doing. Any mods with bugs?

I have no clue what is taking up all the space on my C: drive

1) Save files are typically small, but can potentially be larger than the game install itself (though this usually requires exploring and interacting with a very high percentage of the world map). How much of your map have you explored?

2) How much RAM do you have? What kind of other programs/apps/features do you have running in the background while playing? This could be a matter of how large of a page file (Virtual Memory, where memory items that aren't being used right at the moment but still need to be maintained are kept) your OS has to make while playing.

It's likely not this game; run a virus scan, do a google search on 'hard drive filling itself up'.

It's really really likely that you have another problem going on that is causing the symptom of Valheim having issues. Most likely a virus, but possibly a log file going wild somewhere.
