Please help

[Leandar]

I don't know if this is the right forum but I couldn't see another one that would be about this kind of thing. When I try to play wow I takes me to the page with news etc and when I click play it stars to load and a meesage comes up about not enough storage. I've been playing since Christmas and this never happen until yesterday. What do I do?

[laffncry]

[Leandar]

I have nearly 7gb of free space

Try to repeat the exact message here. That allows people to search for it and see if there are others experiencing / who has solved it.

This is not quite the right forum, it should be in Technical. Don't repost it there though, the mods will be along to move it at some stage.

This thread has been moved into the WoW Technical forum. Hopefully the folks here can help you get the answers you seek. :)

I had a look on the website and it said to delete some wow folders. I don't know why I didn't look there first :/

Could you please provide the message + resolution + (possibly) the official forum support link that resolved it for you? It's always helpful if you've found a solution so that others can benefit from that too. Otherwise, somebody who searches the Tech forum for "not enough storage" will end up here at a dead end, rather than finding help.

Very wise. If there's one thing that makes the Search function redundent, it's when threads are left uneneded, more questions than answers given. It's why I tend to go into so much detail, it allows people not to only know what is wrong, but why it is wrong, and the understanding can be stored for later use by others having the same problems. Sometimes it does annoy me to answer the same question over and over, knowing the answer is already out there, but then I usually perform a copy-paste of my original answer, or someone else who came up with an even more accurate and forfilling post; usually linked to and acredited as well with a recommendation to use the Search function in future before wasting space.

"Not enough storage to complete this command"

This application has encountered a critical error:

Not enough storage is available to process this command.

Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
File: C:\build\buildWoW\WoW\Source\DB\DBClient\DBCache.cpp
Line: 406

This error is caused by file permissions within the Interface files being altered. Usually this error will be triggered after a patch, using custom UI's and immediately upon starting World of Warcraft.

Most often this error can be resolved by just removing the WDB folder that is inside the World of Warcraft folder. Rename or delete that folder and try to run World of Warcraft again.

If the above did not resolve the problem, please close down World of Warcraft and remove the WTF, WDB and Interface folders from the World of Warcraft game directory. These folders contain temporary data and custom UI's.

You can move these folders to the desktop or another directory if you wish to retain the data, however for now please start World of Warcraft without those folders present. Also do not use any third party programs to start World of Warcraft; often some custom UI's will place a shortcut for you to start World of Warcraft from, please use the (Launcher.exe) in the World of Warcraft directory.

Thank you Leander! I've learned something new today.

I'll make a topic with more about how to fix error etc tomorrow.
