@Glenn Kasten

Thanks for your reply, but as you said:


“*But you might need to start over with a completely new download, and on a 
machine with a lot more disk space available. *“

*Me*: Thanks, but that would not seem to solve the origin of the problem, 
which I have already mentioned, `n which is, how to pause the downloading 
of the source (how to pause the ‘repo sync’ command)?


“ *- check your disk space and make sure you have *lots* available, and 
consider adding even more space*

 *- start a new download*”

*Me*: Even if I have much space available, `n also if I add extra, the next 
problem 
[after the first, above] is:

   1. 
   
   How to stop the accumulation of these ‘tmp_pack_...’ files, [as because, 
   if the accumulation isn’t stopped, then even much free space will get 
   reduced], `n,
   2. 
   
   *[For now],* how to extract the code using the *existing* ‘tmp_pack_...’ 
   files [as the existing files are also of many GB s collectively]?
   

Thanks,

Waiting for your help.

 Are you finding that it actually needs more free disk space than the 
 amount listed?
 If so please reply and we'll update the documentation to the correct 
 amount.

 On the other hand, if the amount listed is correct and your machine 
 just doesn't have that much free space,
 really the only solution is to create more free space, for example by 
 adding another larger drive.

[android-building] Re: Help! Disk space getting nearly full because of Android's source files

['Glenn Kasten' via Android Building]

I'm not sure what's causing the tmp_pack_ problem.
But you might need to start over with a completely new download, and on a 
machine with a lot more disk space available.
That is:
 - make a backup of any of your important files
 - delete your current download area, including hidden directories and 
hidden files within the download area
 - check your disk space and make sure you have *lots* available, and 
consider adding even more space
 - start a new download

@Glenn Kasten

Hi,
I see that one of my two messages, which I posted yesterday, hasn't 
appeared here yet, while the other has appeared. I am talking about the 
message, which I posted in response to your reply of 22 Aug to me, in which 
you are asking me to see an article based on disk space requirements.
So, I would ask you to kindly check my that message also, as it is quite 
important in this conversation. It would be very kind of you to share the 
update regarding that message.

thanks,
Waiting for your help `n reply.

[android-building] Re: Help! Disk space getting nearly full because of Android's source files

[`mCT]

@Glenn Kasten

(First of all, I don't know why only the 'reply all' option is available!)

Thanks for you reply,

I had checked the article that you mentioned, but as you said:
"*Are you finding that it actually needs more free disk space than the 
amount listed?*"

*Me*: Well, it doesn't seem that it is wanting more disk space, but allow 
me to clarify again from my starting message: "...disk's space is getting 
nearly full because of these 'tmp_pack_...' files ... deleting them will 
not solve my problem completely, as, when I have to download Android's 
source again, these files will start getting accumulated again, but as I 
have to pause downloading the source because of Internet data getting 
finished, so I also wanted to know if it is possible to pause downloading 
the source, then how to do it?"

"*On the other hand, if the amount listed is correct and your machine just 
doesn't have that much free space,*
*really the only solution is to create more free space, for example by 
adding another larger drive.*"

*Me*: Well, till I use the existing 'tmp_pack_...' files to extract source 
code [which I don't know how], I am not starting to download the source 
again, because, as I said: "...I have to pause downloading the source 
because of Internet data getting finished, so I also wanted to know, if it 
is possible to pause downloading the source, then how to do it?", because I 
think that, CTRL + C is not pausing the 'repo sync' command, `n that these 
'tmp_pack_...' files are the result of this 'pausing'. So, can you help me 
with that?

thanks,
waiting for you help.

Please see this article on disk requirements:

Are you finding that it actually needs more free disk space than the amount 
listed?
If so please reply and we'll update the documentation to the correct amount.

On the other hand, if the amount listed is correct and your machine just
