Database Desktop - Error 'Insufficient Disk Space'

I have a table of three fields, containing 1.6 million records. The total
file size is 230mb. I am trying to restructure the table by deleting one of
the fields. When I try to save the file in database desktop I get
Insufficient disk space. There is over 5gb of free space on the drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

I dont know if this is still a problem, but there used to be an issue with
too much free space on a disk the ability to calculate free space.

I would try it on a smaller drive to see if that helps

I think the BDE uses the Temp environment variable to work out where to put
its temporary files.

This is usually the C:\TEMP or C:\WINDOWS\TEMP directory.
So, if your C: drive is lacking the space you'll get the error.

In this case just change the Temp location

Where is the session.privateDir set to?  This is where the temporary tables will
go.  Is there sufficient space on that drive?
