'disk is full' - not enough room on the disk to open the file. Is this happening with everything or only winrar. If the rar files are say 1 gigabyte it needs at least that size free space again to open/decompress the file(s) (probably more as its a compressed file). Have you tried Izarc or 7zip both are free and will handle all types of rar/zip types. Disk is probably full. Check and see want your virtual memory settings are, if they are 'fixed' I recommend you allow 'system managed' then your swap file can shrink or grow as needed. Virtual memory uses a portion of your hard disk (page file/virtual memory) to temporally swap program code in and out of when doing memory intensive operations such as unzipping large files. Right-click on your corrupted RAR or ZIP file and select “Open with WinRAR” from the context menu. When WinRAR opens, click the Tools menu and select Repair archive. Click the Browse button to select the destination location where the repaired RAR/ZIP file has to be saved.
Hi Roger,Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Office Community.I suggest you to Clean Up the disk and check if it helps.Please refer to the article “ Delete files using Disk Cleanup” and follow the steps.Note: Steps of the above article applies to Windows 10 as well.You may also refer to the article “ How to free up disk space in Windows” by Mr. Andre Da costa, for more information:Hope these information helps, please get back to us for future support, we’ll be glad to assist you further.Thank you. Hoping this may help some people.I recently encountered this same issue with a brand new computer. It was pre-loaded with Windows 10 so it did not have the typical issue of the old Windows OS being preserved for downgrade capability.
The interesting part was that totaling the disk spacemanually resulted in a value of 37.8GB used of 104GB total disk. However, the OS was reporting that 102GB of 104GB was in use which was obviously perplexing. Going through the typical steps of Disk Cleanup, checking the 'System Recoverybackup' folder, un-hidingOperating System protected files and folders and seeing if there was anything large in some of the more popular hidden locations turned up nothing.So I dug a little further and came to the interesting discovery and ultimately the fix.The Windows 10 Search feature works in the the hidden folder 'ProgramDataMicrosoftSearchData' which was an astounding 66GB in size (size on disk was slightly smaller). This was interesting because when checking the properties of 'ProgramData' the sizeof this folder was missing from the total.After doing a 'Rebuild' on the Microsoft 'Indexing Options' control panel setting (under the 'Advanced' section), all the lost free space was returned to the the machine and the problem was solved.I am currently monitoring to see if it's going to be an ongoing issue, not sure why it happened in the first place, but hopefully this will help some people who sit baffled like I did because the math just doesn't add up.Good Luck.
