Cant save game. There is not enough space to perform this operation
I’ve been playing on a save file for about 3 days and suddenly I’m unable to save the game anymore. When I try to save my progress, I get an error that says: “There is not enough space for this operation. Please, remove some saved games or blueprints and try again.”
I only have two save files. One is my most recent quicksave and the other is a “Save As” backup. No blueprints or mods saved either. Even after deleting my backup save, I’m still unable to save the game. The load game menu shows my saves as being 0.7MB each, but in my PS5 save file it shows 1.03GB total. I’ve tried deleting my cloud save and disabling auto sync but that made no difference.
I’m also unable to save in any new game I start or when loading a manual backup save. I tried changing the max backup saves option but it made no difference and doesn’t save any settings I change on the save file.
Please help me ASAP as I can’t make any progress in the game whatsoever now and I really want to get back to playing this amazing game.

Hello Engineer,
We're aware of the issue where deleting saved games in-game doesn't remove them from Console Storage. The issue has been fixed in the latest update but you might have lingering deleted saves in your Storage.
Seems like you've reached the limit of PlayStation Save Data Storage. Unfortunately you'll need to delete all game data. You can do that via Playstation Settings/Storage/Console Storage/Saved Data/Delete
If you want to keep some of the saves, you can first upload them to mod.io.
Please let us know if deleting all Saved Data has resolved the issue for you.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Hello Engineer,
Unfortunately we cannot speak on behalf of PlayStation, we can only confirm that this was a requirement on the platform's side. We're also investigating the issues with the size of the saves at the moment.
What we can recommend at this moment is that you can upload saves to mod.io and retain them that way.
Thank you.

Hello,
Today we are releasing a hotfix (your game version will not change), for PlayStation 5 (PlayStation 4 version will be released later). We ask everyone who has problems saving on this console to please update. Please clear your local data before running it. Beware, you will also lose any (old) existing saves by doing this.
Procedure:
- Settings/Storage/Saved data/PS5 games/
- Select Delete
- Select the Space Engineers and press the Delete button
It is necessary to start from the beginning. This should prevent any recurrence of this issue.
This update should fix the gradual increase of save file size when saving repeatedly.
Please let us know if continue to experience any issues. Thank you for your continued patience, and for working through this process with us.
Kind Regards
