Tella for Windows temporarily saves recording files on your PC before uploading them. Longer recordings and higher quality settings need more local storage.

​
How much space do I need?

We recommend having at least 5–10 GB of free space before recording. The exact amount depends on the recording length, quality settings, and whether you record your screen, camera, or both.

​
What happens when space is low?

Current versions of the Windows app protect your recording when storage is low:
  • Tella warns you before recording and prevents the recording from starting when there isn’t enough space.
  • If space runs out while you record, Tella stops safely instead of continuing until the file becomes corrupted.
  • The recording will be shorter than planned, but Tella keeps the part recorded before it stopped.

​
Free up disk space

  1. Empty the Recycle Bin.
  2. Remove files you no longer need from Downloads.
  3. Open Settings → System → Storage to review temporary files and cleanup recommendations.
  4. Move large files to another drive or cloud storage.
Free up space before starting again, especially before a long or high-resolution recording.

​
Where are temporary files stored?

Tella stores temporary recording files in Windows’ local app data. They are cleaned up after the video uploads successfully.
