Has your file ever said "file out of memory"?

Thanks for the details. I’m asking about variants quantity because technically when you import one component from the component set, the whole set is still stored in the file as a reference. I don’t know if it works this way exactly, but at least that’s how the plugins API behaves, so I would imagine it’s not far from the truth. So let’s imagine you have three variant sets of 100 components in three different files. Now you use three instances of these sets in one file: boom, you have 300 variants imported in a single file. I don’t know how much these “ghost components” contribute to the memory being used, but it’s definitely not 0. And all nested components are stored this way as well. However, I don’t think this alone is enough for the file to be out of memory. Other people have quite large libraries and their files work fine.

Having the same issue, a rather small file, we had to split it several times. There are bugs hidden under the variants and trash is getting stored somewhere, but this is killing my project and obviously complicating things with clients.

How can it be that I update 1 text in a component library and when I update the file, layer count rises by thousands?

If You Even Can’t able to Restore the previous versions of All the saved version Then Follow the steps as per i tell
if The screen keeps on showing file out of Memory then

Step : 1
you just open in your mobile and Login the creditial as same you are using in your System, you can only able to view the file Not to Edit,

Step 2:
so you come to your system and go to home page of figma and go to the Project where you were working, and right click on the project and click on Share Option ,

step:3
you create new Account in figma and add that Email id in Share option as to only View to to Edit if You add View Then still You will get Same Error.

step:4
You will get notification to that added Email ID and, click on open Figma / file from gmail, You will Redirect to the Design Files

step: 5
Once you can view the design then You Just try to Select All Frames and Copy Ctrl + C and Paste In new Page You will Get Back your Design with Edit Option and you can still work On with The Same design pages

Just Follow These Steps Definetely You can Backup all the Desing Files Back to Work

According to the resource use, it looks like the max is 2 GB of Memory. I run out of memory all the time. Breaking a file down into separate files isn’t a good option since it’s for the same app concept and we’d have to jump back and forth, make sure that the components are in sync etc.

Is there a way to increase max memory Figma can allocate?

I tried using Figma in both the browser and desktop app (macOS), but it’s the same issue (since the desktop app is also using the same web framework)

Hey, guys. In my case I solved it by duplicating the file and opening the copy. So I was deleting the pages that were not necessary.

THIS WORKED!!! Thank you! You saved my day!
