Can't save AI file on my PC - "unkown error"

[DCJ07]

I've been working on my file and when I'm ready to save and extract I get this message: 

I've clicked on the link detailed in the box and followed all the steps and none of them work. 

Any idea how to get past this?

Thanks!!!

Do your files have linked assets?

A similar thread came up a long time ago and removing linked assets fixed it- one of them was corrupted.

Another solution would be to reset your Illustrator preferences (hold Shift+Opt+Cmd before startup).

Thanks for replying!

I'm new at this, how can I check linked assets?

I can't reset my illustrator as I can't save my work 😞
