Set up the disk space reminder in ADT Hub (Windows and macOS)
Overview
Get a reminder when a disk that holds your builds reaches a set level, and use it to free space before a download or install fails.
This guide uses AccelByte Development Toolkit (ADT) Hub on Windows. On macOS, the steps are the same, and the reminder names the volume's mount path instead of a drive letter.
Prerequisites
- ADT Hub 1.12.4 or later, on Windows or macOS.
- At least one installation folder on a local disk. Hub does not check network folders.
Steps
Step 1: Turn on the reminder and set the level
The reminder is on by default, at 80% full.
- In ADT Hub, click your namespace and select Application Settings.
- Select Downloads.
- Make sure Disk space reminder is on.
- In the level field, type a whole number from 50 to 99 and press Enter. The unit is % full. A value outside this range is not saved, and the field goes back to your current level.
Hub checks disk use right after you turn the reminder on or change the level.
Step 2: Check the level in My Builds
- Go to My Builds.
- In the disk bar at the bottom, select a disk. Disks that hold an installation folder show a marker such as 80% reminder at your level.
Step 3: Act on the reminder
When a disk reaches your level, Hub sends a reminder such as Drive D is 85% full. It says how much space installed builds use on that disk.
- Click the system notification, or open the notification panel and select the Activity tab.
- On the card, click Show largest builds. My Builds opens sorted by Largest file size.
- Uninstall the builds you no longer need. See Review unused builds in ADT Hub (Windows and macOS).
Hub never removes builds because a disk is full. The reminder is only a warning.
Step 4: Turn off the reminder
To stop disk reminders, turn off Disk space reminder in Application Settings > Downloads. The Disk space reminder switch in Application Settings > Notifications is the same setting.
Validation
- Disk space reminder is on and shows your level.
- My Builds shows the reminder marker on each disk that holds an installation folder.
- When a disk crosses your level, the notification panel shows a card such as Drive D is 85% full.
Troubleshooting
- Symptom: The disk is above the level, but no reminder appears. Fix: Hub reminds you once each time a disk crosses the level. You get a new reminder only after use drops below the level and crosses it again. Lowering the level, or turning the reminder off and on, makes Hub check every disk again.
- Symptom: The reminder is late after another program filled the disk. Fix: Hub checks disk use only when it starts, after a download, install or update finishes, and when you change the level. It does not check in the background.
- Symptom: A disk has no reminder marker in My Builds. Fix: The disk holds none of your installation folders, or the folder is on a network share. Hub checks only local disks that hold an installation folder.
- Symptom: A download still fails with not enough space. Fix: Lower the reminder level so you are warned earlier, or free space on the disk before you download.
