I think the error message is pretty clear:

There is not enough available space to continue the file writing. Make room by deleting existing videos or photos.

Although, we should present it better.

Does this error happen when you initiate recording? or during as it's being saved?

[MiaoChenhao]

@karaggeorge Yes, this error occurs when you start recording!

I don't know if it's okay for me to be commenting on such an old issue, but I am getting it constantly nowadays... However, I am pointing the recording to an external drive with 9 GB of free storage. Indeed, my main drive is out of space, but I would think that this would not happen by pointing the recording to an external drive. And sometimes it does not happen... Well...
