The TEMP folder is running out of space when archiving big files

PROBLEM:
When archiving big files, the TEMP folder on the C disk (partition) could run out of space.

SOLUTION:
The only way to solve this issue is to change the Windows temp folder to a different disk (partition) with more storage space.

How can you do that:

  1. Create a new TEMP folder on the disk (partition) where you want to have it.
  2. Open the Control panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system settings.
  3. In the System Properties window click on the Advanced tab and open the Environment Variables window.
  4. Change the TEMP and TMP Variable values to the new folder that was created in the first point.
  5. Restart your system.
