Solution for "Low disk space" on BlueStacks 5

Problem

An error popup is shown due to less disk space on your desktop/laptop in the following scenarios:

  • Immediately after launching BlueStacks 5
  • While trying to install an app using an APK file
  • If your computer runs out of disk space while using BlueStacks 5
  • While creating a new instance using the Multi-instance Manager

Cause

This is due to insufficient disk space on your desktop/laptop.

Solution

To resolve this, you can delete some unwanted files to free up at least 5 GB of disk space in the drive where BlueStacks 5 is installed.

Simply:

  • Delete any unwanted files
  • Empty the recycle bin

Once done, launch BlueStacks 5 and the error pop-up will no longer appear.
