Disk full error while exporting powerpoint presentation

Question

Hi, I have a presentation (approx 80MB size) containing few attachments in excel files & photographs. The total folder size including presentation is approx 240MB. When I am trying to export the presentation to "Export to CD" option & saving in local disk (having approx 308GB free space), after saving few files its having an error saying the disk space is full. Is there's some fix as its technically impossible that a 400 MB folder can fillup complete 300GB space while exporting.

Answer 1

Hi,

I appreciate the efforts you are taking to go deep in the issue.

The presentation has quite lot of linked graphs & tables & brief description in each slide; overall its quite confidential data & if I remove all confidential data, it will be only opening & last slide..can't share the presentation, apologies for this.

EDIT: Got the issue. One linked object was an attachment from outlook mail. The moment I removed it, it got exported flawlessly!

If it is convenient for you, could you please send sample copy of your document file to me so that I can look from my side, and I will check this behavior and help you to fix and verify the result with you.

If there is confidential information, then you can send it to me in Private Message(PM). you can access PM from the top right corner of this page, as shown in image below:

Hi! Thanks for responding.

I tried it exporting other presentations as well. Presentation upto 20MB is exporting without any issue. I tried for 60MB presentation, same error is coming. Please find below screenshot.
