In order to allow the user to revert back to the original data file after file editing, STATISTICA creates temporary and backup files. Thus, in order to edit a data file, the program will need at least twice as much free disk space as the size of the file to be edited. More disk space is necessary if you perform large-scale editing operations (e.g., changing large blocks) on very large data files: to allow for the Undo function, STATISTICA will then need to store multiple copies (up to 16) of the modified sections of data. Some operations (e.g., import/export) use intermediate scratch files, thus they may need additional space.
