AstroPixel Processor saying not enough disk space

I've just started using AstroPixel Processor and after a few weeks of enjoying the results, I keep getting this error message. I have no idea why it says not enough free hard disk space, since I've only used 493 GB out of 2.72 TB. If I have that much free disk space, why am I getting this warning (which freezes the program). I don't know much about computers, so any suggestion will be most welcomed.

Looks like you have a 500 gb partition on your hard disk. Try creating your APP working directory on a different drive letter.

Thank you. Would you be kind enough to help me understand what a "partition" is. Also, my APP directory is on my "D" drive, so you think if I change that to the "C" drive that will help? How do I know the C drive won't have the same limited partition? Very computer-confused...sorry.

Joe,
APP has a customer support forum here:

Near the top of the first page you should see this:

Notice the right-most button says "Logout". That means that I am logged in. Hopefully you will see the same. If you see "Login", then click it and enter your account credentials that you created when you purchased APP. Hopefully then you become logged in to the Community Forum. Post your question there.

Joe,
I suspect that you made a mistake in the "LOAD" tab. It looks like you loaded 1066 LIGHT frames!! You've been using 30-second exposures, so 1066 30-second frames is nearly 9 hours! You couldn't have possibly captured 9 hours of data in one night. Are you trying to combine data from multiple nights?
Try again, but if you get this error again, take a screenshot of the LOAD tab. It will give us a lot more information.
