How to Fix It: Your Hard Drive Is Full Battle Net


When you encounter the error code BLZBNTBTS0000000C while downloading a game through Battle.net, it's possible that the issue is related to a corrupted or incomplete download, or perhaps the game is not compatible with your system. To resolve this, you can try restarting the Battle.

error code

Battle.net, a game platform built by Blizzard, allows for direct internet connection, creating a competitive environment for global players. However, due to its unique operation mode, games downloaded on the platform are saved and run in the default path, which can lead to insufficient hard disk space, prompting a "Your Hard Drive Is Full" message.

I'm happy to help! However, I don't see an article provided. Could you please share the article or provide more context about the Battle.

How to Solve the Problem of Insufficient Hard Drive Space

If you don't do a good job of disk partitioning before downloading Battle.net, you may run into the problem of insufficient disk space. If Battle.net tells you that your hard drive is full, there are 3 methods you can try to solve the problem:

Now let's check them out.

Using Another Hard Drive to Install Game

To solve the problem of insufficient disk space, download and install the game on an external hard disk with enough space, which can store more game data without occupying computer space, maintaining the computer's running speed. Before using the external hard disk, format it to ensure data security.

1. Open the Battle.net client and go to the "Game" tab.

Step 1. To access the game, open Battle.net and click on any game icon to open its showing page.

Free the Hard Drive Space

If you don't have a spare disk or plan to buy external storage, you can free up hard drive space by uninstalling unused programs or unnecessary files to make room for more game data.

Here are the steps to uninstall programs on Windows 10.

Step 1. Type "Remove" in the search box of Windows 10

Step 2. Open the Add or remove programs

Step 3. To find unused programs and uninstall them, navigate to the Control Panel, click on "Uninstall a program" (or "Programs and Features" in Windows 10), and look for programs that are no longer needed. Select the unwanted program and click the "Uninstall" button to remove it.

Deleting unnecessary files is easier than uninstalling a program. To do so, open File Explorer, select the file on the hard disk, and right-click to delete it.

ScanDisk and Defrag on Hard Drive

Over time, scattered files on your disk can lead to insufficient space, making it hard to find them. Running a scan and defragment program can repair bad sectors and help manage your disk space.

Step 1. Open Windows File Explorer

Step 2. To check the properties of a hard disk, right-click on the hard disk you want to check and select "Properties" from the context menu.

Step 3. Click on the Tools option in the pop-up window and select the "Check" button.

Step 4. The Error Checking window will open, and now click Scan drive.

The scanning time for the disk depends on its size, and once completed, Windows will automatically fix the drive error when the computer is restarted.

Step 5. To defragment and optimize drives on Windows, type and open the "Defragment and Optimize Drives" on the Windows search program. This will open the Optimize Drives window, where you can select the drive you want to optimize and choose the schedule for automatic optimization.

Step 6. If your drive is fragmented, you'll see a note. Click "Analyze" to check the current fragmentation status.

Step 7. If the drive is more than 10% fragmented, click the "Defragment" button to improve its performance.

The operations mentioned can help organize disk space and speed up your computer, thereby optimizing your gaming experience.

What to Do When Battle.Net Still Says Hard Drive Is Full

When you've ensured there's enough space on your hard drive to download new games, you may still receive a prompt from Battle.net stating that your hard drive is full. In this case, you need to check the C drive space, as Battle.net requires creating files on this drive to operate normally. If the C drive is full, Battle.net will prevent you from installing the game, even if the hard drive you've prepared for downloading has ample space.

If you're experiencing issues with downloading or installing a game due to insufficient space on the C drive, you can clean up the space using one of the three methods mentioned, freeing up enough space to try downloading or installing the game again.
