Not much point including that image.

Chances are you're uploaded too much in the way of images or sounds and the project is too big. Try downloading it to avoid losing anything and try to identify what is taking up the space.

Hi datalearner,

In case you haven't downloaded a project before, as deck26 suggests:

To Save To Your Computer and Load From Your Computer
From the editor, you can “Save to your computer”. This will let you save a MY PROJECT.sb3 file to your own computer's hard drive. (You can save these as frequently as you want.)

When you want to load .sb3 file back into scratch, you'll start by opening a project and from the editor choose File, then “Load from your computer”.

Note: This LOAD will replace the contents of whatever project you have open when you load. So be careful not to accidentally overwrite a version of your project in scratch by loading an old version on top of it. That might be exactly what you want to do, if you “Save to your computer” try something, decide you hate it, and then “Load from your computer” to go back to how it was. But if you don't want to overwrite a version that's already in scratch, create a new project and load into that.

One other thing you can try if you happened to leave your computer on for a long period without using it, and came back to a file that won't save. I had that happen and discovered it was because scratch logged me out (even though it appeared to still be logged in). I opened a completely new browser window, opened scratch in that second window, went to scratch, and logged in on that window. Going back to the original project tab that wouldn't save, now it would. That's likely not your problem (usually it's over some file size like deck26 guessed) but I thought I'd mention this other odd thing that I had happen.
