Guys, instead of breaking your head sometimes, while opening the project check if you set it to inches or pixels, I found it out the hard way, I didn't notice, I was tryna open a new project with 1000 x 1000 "inches" instead of "pixels" , be careful even if you have a lot of space sometime this could be the issue, select and always use pixels not inches

Good video. This problem is also often caused tho by starting a project in 'inches' instead of in 'pixels'. If for example you make 800x800 inch project, this is 60-70gb big and you will get the message that your disk is full while it is actually not.

any windows 10 like me you might need to do this to see that file under c drive under your user name like another user mentions below. I had to do this to see it on mine. Go to Explorer. Open the C: drive. Click View on the menu bar. Click the Options icon. (If you click the small arrow below it instead, choose Change Folder and Search options). Select the View tab. Under Files and Folders > Hidden files and folders, select the option to Show hidden files, folders and drives. Click OK.
