"Low Disk Space" warning preventing me from accessing codespace

[mger1608]

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to work on a project that is stored in a GitHub Codespace. I have been working on this in my free time for the past month without any GitHub Codespace related issues. Today, when trying to unzip a file via a line of my code I received a 'no disk space' error message and the following warning popped up in my VS Code IDE.

I'm not really sure what this means but after trying to troubleshoot on my own I have concluded that my GitHub Codespace is maxxed out from a storage/usage standpoint. However, when I view the usage report for my codespace online, it appears that I have plenty of storage and usage available.

I tried to simply disconnect and reconnect to the codespace via the Remote Explorer tab in VS Code. Upon doing so, I can no longer even open a file from my codespace, much less try to run anything. I am stuck with a loading bar at the top and a blank editor attempting to open 3 different files.

Is this a known issue? Is there something obvious I may be doing incorrectly? Appreciate any feedback.

Hi @mger1608 👋

Is this specifically Codespaces or are you using Classroom?

@samus-aran This is specifically Codespaces being run on VS Code

Hi @mger1608

Students are able to use Codespaces whilst within Classroom without affecting their personal Codespaces limits. I assume that is what has happened. I would suggest you reach out to accounts & billing support to gain clarification as yes that can be confusing to see on the dashboard.
