I had the exact same problem. I tried deleting it and starting all over again, and I kept getting the same error. The error happens because the HDD is full, and after effects isn't capable of saving. 
Hope this helps.

Hi i'm actually having the same issue now. I thought it could be a memory/storage issue so I tried saving to my hard drive but nothing is working. What do you think the issue could be and is there any solving?

Hey Jane!

I wonder if it's a permissions issue, I would recommend trying to save directly to your desktop and see if that works.

Hi Scarlett1701,

 

Which version of After Effects are you using? https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-re-using/td-p/9972137

Which OS are you on?


Can you try the File > Save As option and see if that works?

 

Thanks,

Rameez
