UWP XBOX one : There is not enough space on the disk

Question

Pp 1

I am working on UWP Xbox One S with Kinect. I get frames and write them to local disk.

After writing some some frames, it starts giving me the following exception:

Exception thrown: 'System.Exception' in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
There is not enough space on the disk. (Excep_FromHResult 0x80070070)

However, the disk seems to have free space as shown in the image below.

The same UWP program, when run on the PC generates frames without any disk space exception. It creates about 3.5 to4 GB data when I run it on PC.

I have also increased the developer storage on XBOX (as shown in image attached) but nothing seems to improve.

I am accessing local folder to store the data.

StorageFolder storageFolder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
await FileIO.WriteBytesAsync(sampleFile, objframe);

Can you someone please help me with this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

@Pp You could try to save the data in another location by using a picker in your Xbox One S machine to see if the problem is there is no enough space on the system disk.

@Pp Referring to this case, it seems there is only a certain amount of space dedicated for file storage. The certain amount of space dedicated for file storage is small, because most of drive storage is assigned to games and apps. The previous suggestion should be useless.

Thank you @Yan Gu - MSFT , I am planning to publish this app to Microsoft Store. Does that mean this should fix the problem? or is there a way to get access to storage for apps.

@Pp The limitation of file storage always exists in Xbox. Just as you tested before, the app works fine on PC. But it may still be limited with file storage space on Xbox.
