Does calibre have to be installed somewhere else like the external drive to stop using this partition to do it's work?
@jpcookie No, but it's always a good idea to keep data away from the system drive/partition - ebook libraries, photo collections, tax returns etc.

Could you copy the error details to the clipboard and post here.

How much free space does Windows report is on system partition?

When did you last run a Disk Cleanup or equivalent?

To what location did you set CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR?

What version of calibre are you using, and which edition - 32bit, 64bit or portable?
