Project too large try deleting files

Hi everyone, if anyone could help with this ,would be appreciated. I got this error on my figma make AI project. 

Project too large, try deleting some files.

I should note, I had this issue a few times before, but by just prompting something different on another part of the app, it went away and things resumed like normal.

Now this has stopped prompting altogether; it won't add anything else even though the app is for the file that's too large. I can no longer add anything.

Figma support gave me these 3 options in an email to fix it, but I'm not sure which to pick.

1. Connecting your Make file to a Supabase database and using the AI agent to offload larger assets (like SVGs), duplicated elements, or placeholder content.

2. Working with the AI to refactor and trim down unnecessary data while keeping the project stable.

3. Pushing your code to GitHub or downloading it locally and continuing development in an IDE for more direct control.

I'm not a coding person, mainly design, and I have no developers to look over this at this point.

I tried both ChatGPT and Gemini; the answer was to create new files and cut and paste parts of the file to another file that you create as a way to reduce file size.

As I follow, things seem to get worse as you begin to cut and paste things into newly created files, which just builds errors and never gets rid of the ⚠️ from any of my 2 files with the warning.

Thankfully, I have about 5 duplicates all at the same point, so that didn't bother me as much while testing the idea.

If anyone has had any luck 🤞🏽, or found the best way to approach this...

Maybe Figma could make the file limits 2-5 MB 😅?

Warning on App.tsx ⚠️ CharityHubSubpage.tsx ⚠️

Any suggestions would be great... 📝?

Following this closely. This error makes it nearly impossible to keep things moving without having to throw things overboard. 

This problem causes a death loop. First, the AI is addicted to making .md files for everything. So I’m constantly trying to get it to not do so and deleting the .mds. The AI also does no real-time audit on the space needed to avoid running into this error, nor does it have a preemptive solution. So it just locks you out and leaves you to guess what can be deleted in order to unlock things. Such a waste of time.

Think I'll try the supabase option.

HELPPP ME PLEASE 

I’m experiencing an issue in a Figma Make project with the following error message:

“Project too large, please try deleting some files
Request ID: 2df1d45d-a89f-4aa5-8e16-d2dc3368bbc1”

I searched the community and found information from Figma stating that there is a 1MB size limit, which may prevent the AI chat in Figma Make from functioning properly.

However, in my project, no files appear as indicated in the documentation. I have already removed all unnecessary files (for example, old .md prompt files), but the error persists.

I also saw that it may be possible to share the project with support-share@figma.com for further investigation.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I can share the project for review if needed.

Looking forward to your guidance.

I've done that before and connected my project to support-share@figma.com. they won't be able to help in that regard.

Since technically they don't know what you are trying to build,they can't start removing things for you .

As seen here in an email I received.

I believe the only fix for this situation is if they can at least raise the file size to up to a 3-5MB limit.

I've tried cutting ✂️ a large part of one of my files on a duplicate with ⚠️ and it didn't remove the warning either.

On a different duplicate I just delete the whole file all together and that just breaks everything..

Cutting files and moving them will also create massive errors and AI can't fix them because it's lock in the file to big error.

I was experiencing the same issue, I’ve noticed there were a lot of huge and unused files in the ‘import’ folders, I removed enough files so that I was able to prompt again, my next prompt:

“audit and simplify the current implementation from a files perspective as much as possible, there might be a lot files we no longer need. clean them up”

Response - Files Deleted (145 files total)

Back to work!
