Enough disk space error when processing the dimensions

Question

Hi All,
I have created an SSIS package to process the dimensions , when I execute the package I am getting the below error
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: The following system error occurred from a call to GetOverlappedResult for Physical file: '\?\O:\OLAP\DataBusinessIntelligenceDEV.1.db\Dim Res Primary Identifier.0.dim\929.Dim Res Primary Identifier.fact.data', Logical file: '' : There is not enough space on the disk.
I logged on to the server and navigated to the folder (O:\OLAP\Data\BusinessIntelligenceDEV.1.db) , here are my findings.
On december 1st I processed the dimensions (FULL) and I can see the (.dim) as type XML documents, and I processed the same set of dimensions yesterday December 6th and I see the same dimensions as folders and when I click on them I see different types of files with extensions (ASTORE,DSTORE,HSTORE...)
and when I tried to delete these folders I get the below message, please advice.
"The action can't be completed because the file is open in SQL Server Analysis Services SSAS
close the file and try again
928.(All).ahstore
Type:AHSTORE File
Thanks

Hi @Amy Jandreau ,

There is not enough space on the disk.

Please refer to this thread, see below:

Check the settings for TempDir under the advanced settings on your SSAS instance. By default this is set to c:\ and if your cube is heavy on aggregations they can be written out to TempDir as the cube processes and can fill up pretty quickly. Change the TempDir to a folder within your k:\ drive or similar.

Best regards,
Carrin
