what can I do now ? How to solve this PSIO error ? and what’s the reason for it ?
If anyone can help me in this , it would be grateful.

Thank you,

“Fatal Error: PSIO Error” — This error typically means you filled the disk, and there’s not enough room to write the files that are required. You need a larger scratch disk.

Check out the section of the manual that discusses the scratch disk:

Best,
David
