Issue

Your changes could not be saved because this SharePoint Web site has exceeded the storage quota limit. You must save your work to another location. Contact your administrator to change the quota limits for the Web site.

Sometimes we get the above error in SharePoint while creating a list or document library or while saving templates.

In this article, we will see the steps how and where to check and resolve the issue.

Cause

This error occurs if the website has exceeded the storage quota limit. A quota specifies the storage limits so that it defines the maximum amount of data that can be stored in a site collection.

Solution

We can increase the quota limit from SharePoint Central Administration.

  1. Open SharePoint Central Administration -> Application Management -> SharePoint Site Management section -> click on Quota Templates.
  2. Change the Quota as required and check the site.
  3. Also, we can change it by using STSADM command.

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 524288000
