auto recovery file full
Hi. I have a 2010 MaBookPro running OS Yosemite 10.10.5 It has 16gb of memory and the startup disc is500gb. I am using a 3Tb external hard drive for backup and time machine.
I've been working all day on a textbook and started getting a message saying "Auto recovery file is full. Save elsewhere." Or something like that.
So, what are my options? Can I empty the file easily? Can I re-direct auto recovery to the external hard drive? If I turn the computer off for the evening will this solve this problem?
Thanks
