Troubleshooting: Could not allocate space for object in database because PRIMARY filegroup is full

Question: Why there is an error message prompted whenever I try to save a new transaction?

Reason:

Your pc’s hard disk storage is full or your Database size limit is full.

Solution:

1. Clear the junk files or unwanted files on your pc’s hard disk to free up some storage and try again to save a new transaction.

2. Upgrade your SQL server if you are using SQL Server 2005 Express edition and SQL Server 2008 express edition for another extra 6GB size limit or you can purchase SQL Runtime Server which offer unlimited size limit.

Note: Your database max size is defined by your SQL Server version.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition has a database size limit of 4GB
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express edition has a database size limit of 4GB
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition has a database size limit of 10GB
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express edition has a database size limit of 10GB
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express edition has a database size limit of 10GB
