Hey ​@Max Ruso - sorry if this has been delaying your work. I know you’ve mentioned that you are still stuck on the same message. 

Just to make sure I understand correctly: when you say files are too large, are you getting a memory usage error specifically?

If so, is the percentage of the usage dropping at all, or is it staying at the same threshold? See this help page for a visual and some additional things to check: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040528173-Reduce-memory-usage-in-files#alerts

If my assumption is incorrect, can you please attach a screenshot of what you’re seeing? A visual will be helpful for me to understand better.

Thank you!

Thank you - since this is surfacing in Figma Make (and you’ve already tried breaking up the file), I’m going to have our support team take a look at your Make files to see if they can get a better sense of what is going on.

I’ll be following up with you shortly -- please be on the lookout for an email sent directly to you.

Please let me know if you do nor receive that.

I do not know what this means or what type of files I need to delete.

 

Where do I go to know which files to delete.  

Can I comment out or what?

Tonight I received the message for the 2nd time. A few weeks ago I had to resolve it by deleting a lot of less important .md files. Tonight, I deleted some features that I no longer needed and the files that went with them. The error went away and I was able to resume work, but I’m afraid I’ll hit the limit again and won’t be able to delete anything else.

I’ve run out of things I could possibly delete and I don’t know how to “break” the files and still have everything still work.

Hey All, thanks for continuing to chime in here! 

Ksn has been out of office, so I’d be happy to pick up where she left off. This error typically appears when one or more files in the project are exceeding the 1MB size limit, which prevents the AI chat in Figma Make from working correctly.
 
If you have already tried deleting files that are too large in your Make file, please try checking each file indicated by the warning symbol next to the file name. 


To address this, you can shorten or delete the problem files altogether. Once the problem files are fixed and/or removed, you can also prompt Figma Make to resolve any issues introduced by shortening the files.
 
Here's a link to our guide with more information on this: Troubleshoot in Figma Make
 
If the issue persists after giving this a try, would you mind sharing your Make file link and adding support-share@figma.com as a Viewer?
With your file link, we can help get you connected with our Technical Quality team to investigate your specific issue further.

What is the solution for project too large? is it the overall project or one file in particular? i rolled back to an earlier version but it does not seem to have fixed it. i deleted some md files but this does not seem to be making the impact that I had hoped for.

Project too large, try deleting some files.
