This unhelpful message appeared on my computer today when moving some files. I run Active Directory and Roaming Profiles so my first thought was if I’d set a user disk quota, however this wasn’t the case. A quick search pointed me in the direction of:
Control Panel, Sync Center, Offline Files, Manage Offline Files (left hand side), Disk Usage tab, Change Limits
(Windows 7 64bit)
Once I’d increase the disk usage all was well again. Now Why didn’t they put the words ‘Offline Files’ in the error message or perhaps even a link?
Control Panel, Sync Center, Offline Files, Manage Offline Files (left hand side), Disk Usage tab, Change Limits
(Windows 7 64bit)
Once I’d increase the disk usage all was well again. Now Why didn’t they put the words ‘Offline Files’ in the error message or perhaps even a link?
Absolute magic. Interestingly, I've had to save most offline files twice recently. This is probably a sign that this was going to happen...
ReplyDeleteOn my laptop i had to take a slightly different route..
Control Panel, SYNCH CENTRE, Offline Files, Manage Offline Files, Disk Usage tab, Change Limits
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the correction: I had typed "Offline Files" into the Control Panel search box but I've updated the post now.
DeleteThanks for the help. That was great info.
DeleteWoohoo, it worked! My computer was crashing and going super slow and increasing my offline files space was the answer, yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you
DeleteThank you so much! I was getting very frustrated and thought there was no way I'd be able to sort it out without the help of my IT dept who aren't around now as it's after office hours. You are a life saver :-)
DeleteIncredible!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I have been fooling around with this problem for a few months--HP desk, Apple desk, my IT guy..... I was trying to import my iphone pics and some off of a card reader. You were the only one who had the answer. Noce when it sll works out. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI see that I am not the only one! Really appreciate the advice.
ReplyDeleteWorked a treat! Thanks, Phil :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I would never b able to solve it by myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Elegant solution. I googled and naively took first link (wiki-error), downloaded a registery clean-up, got stung for the $30 touch, no difference! Another lesson. Big ups to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch Phil. The IT folks thought it was malware or a virus last time and re-imaged my laptop. Luckily this time I found your blog first. Perfect fix.
ReplyDeleteCheers
I am using Windows XP Home edition and I’m getting the same “not enough quota error” but I do not have the Off Line files option available. Is that something I need to specifically configure? I don’t have a Sync Center and I don’t see an Off Line files in MyComputer-->tools-->folder options. I’m only trying to copy a folder from the C drive to new 2TB expansion drive, and it has taken me all morning trying different things and I still get this quota error. This is really nutty.
ReplyDeleteAre you logged on as the Administrator account? As this will show you the Offline Files, the way your trying. It is hidden to standard users.
DeleteSync Centre is only in Windows Vista/7.
Thank you so much! I've been trying to get this problem fixed for months using outside tech support. I finally researched it myself and came across your simple fix and it worked!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat!!!Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I could no longer import videos from my Panasonic SDR-H18 digital video camera and couldn't figure out why not. It then started telling me it couldn't find the library (which I could see) When I tried to create a new library, I got the Windows error # and then got here by googling that number. That fix solved everything.
ReplyDeleteYour blog post saved my day. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, a handy tip.
ReplyDeleteYou are a saviour
ReplyDeleteThumbs up
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, it worked!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I also assumed this was a quota on the server. Thanks for ending my tail chasing!
ReplyDeleteGreat solution, Many thanks
ReplyDeleteDoug
Double thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteAnother satisfied customer here! thanks, I wonder why the error message did not say that in the first place.
ReplyDeleteLike those ahead of me have said, you have incrementally made the world a better place with this little tip!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil!
ReplyDeleteOur company is currently looking to replace our IT person.
I was trying to delete old files, and kept getting the annoying error 0x80070718 message. Thanks to Google and you, I was able to delete the files. Great Job!

Control Panel, Sync Center, Offline Files after that unable to open Manage Offline Files. when i clicked its not responding
ReplyDeleteIt worked! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks - this worked for an issue I was having, too!
ReplyDelete...the dog's dangley bits!
ReplyDelete...it sure was the dog's dangley bits.
ReplyDeleteYou are the man!
ReplyDeleteTerrific! Easy and effective fix - once I've benefited from the insight. Will add my kudos for Phil as well. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI cannot thank you enough. I tried a lot of other troubleshooting suggestions and yours worked. Thanks again!
ReplyDeletethank you, extremely helpful
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky, I found your post right away. And wha-la, problem solved. :-)
Genius! Thankyuothankyouthankyou!!!
ReplyDeleteI found loads of thanks for this but I am worried about something. I have increased the disk quota far too many times and its bothering me that the disk quota is going over 55GB for some users after the sync centre has been activated. This is currently happening for more than one users and increasing the quota only seems to solve the problem for then.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Your post is absolutly helpful and saved me a lot of time. Regards, Cornelius
ReplyDeletewell down. thanks
ReplyDeletethanks man you saved me
ReplyDeleteHero Fixed my problem!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Worked like a charm. Tried to reset my quota a different way per our IT guy and it wouldn't let me change it. This way did and now I can save to My Documents again! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft fixit couldn't fix it but you did!!!!
Yes, this worked great! The same error message appeared on my previous laptop and my IT guy tried using the Microsoft Cleanup Tool - ended up corrupting the entire file structure. I've noticed that both times I got this error was soon after using my iPhone5 as a modem (Personal Hotspot) while I was traveling. Could this be a cause?
ReplyDeletemuchas gracias. de puta madre, magnifico. eso es saber ! thks
ReplyDeleteIt Work - thanks mate
ReplyDeleteGreat !!! now it works again !!!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to save a very big file and all what I got was a very useless "Document not saved" message.
Than I tried to move and copy the file into others folder and I got the Error 0x80070718
...then I had finally something to search for ...and I found your great support!
Thanks again :-)
Great job, find some one who straight to the point solves a very annoying issue! .....Legend

ReplyDeleteOffline files quota was the problem. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks you are the Boss !!!
ReplyDeletewho knew?! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million. Why are we still buying Windows machines?
ReplyDelete"Now Why didn’t they put the words ‘Offline Files’ in the error message or perhaps even a link?"
ReplyDeleteBecause they are too big to be held accountable and they won't hold themselves accountable.
Super helpful, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Thank you for this. So helpful.
ReplyDeleteStraight to the point, thanks!
ReplyDeleteWould've never thought to look there - thank you!
