Windows partition running out of space during add
Recently my copy of calibre has effectively been unable to complete the add process claiming that no space was left on device. I tried to update the temp library environment variable and thus totally failed to stop running out of space. I'm already in a position that I was able to move the physical library to an external drive but that failed to resolve the issue. Does calibre have to be installed somewhere else like the external drive to stop using this partition to do it's work?

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? BR |

Can you post the error details and how much space is windows reporting is free on the system partition. Most calibre error messages can be copied to the clipboard, eg Spoiler:
Otherwise could you post a screen shot of the error message and the calibre version you're using BR |

Question, on these drives you are using, how much disk space do you have free? Also, go in and manually delete what's in the temp directory as an overfull temp directory can cause problems.
