How do I fix this persistent error message.

"To backup your company file, there must be [removed] bytes of space available on D:\QBBackupTemp but currently there are only [removed] bytes available. Please free up some space."

 

I have tried multiple times with brand new drives that have an over abundance of space and it continues to give me this same message. It seems like it is something internal to QuickBooks.

Thank you

I installed the tool hub. Which selection from the tool hub shall I try first? Company file issues? or Program Problems?
