[Solved] ArchiCAD “Error cannot create temporary documents”

I have to work with software ejecta named ArchiCAD (it’s not that bad, but i am so sick and tired of my job lol) and once in a while you get the following message:

"Error cannot create temporary documents"

It can be fixed easily by doing the following:

  1. Go to the drive where you are storing the USERS folder.
  2. Open the user’s folder
  3. Open the Graphisoft folder
    —> So basically “C:\Users\USERNAME\GRAPHISOFT”
  4. You will see the following folders:Screenshot of the graphisoft folder showing a large number of autosave folders.
  5. Delete all those AutoSave-xx-xx folders except for the most recent one which is just named AutoSave-xx (xx for the version of your archicad software) In my case, the total amount of data in these folders was 85Gb. That’s Eighty-Five Gigabyte…..

Done, ArchiCAD will now start again.
