Hello! I just purchased a Lynx level 3 and have downloaded a few games so far (StarWars Battlefront 2, CSGO, Rome Total War 2013, Cities Skylines, some older games like Unreal GOTY which take up little space).

I recently attempted to download Battlefield 5, which requires 74.69 GB in drive space to download, but was unable to do so due to an "insufficient drive space" error that Origin sends me. I've deleted a few unnecessary aps like Skype and uninstalled some games other than the above and I am still unable to download the game.

I don't know a ton about computers or memory/space, but I feel like there should be more than enough space for the above games, Battlefield 5 and then some stored on my computer with the 2TB 7200RPM Storage on the model. I've read online that this should be more than enough space to store multiple AAA titles with ease.

Am I mistaken in thinking this? Is there something else I should be looking at on my computer (I've searched the storage and local disk (C:) on my computer)? Is this more of an issue with Origin not functioning properly or am I legitimately unable to have more than one major AAA game on my PC at a time?

Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I think the problem you are having is that you have a 240GB SSD and a 2TB HD. You are probably trying to download to the 240GB SSD. Make sure you redirect your download to the 2TB HD.

Thanks for the info! I was able to figure it out. I just switched from the local disk to the Data (D:) drive and created a new folder. That did the trick!

Now you should have lots of room.
