* Check your Sketchbook location and make sure to use an internal disk drive. You can check and change your Sketchbook location in the Preferences dialog (**File > Preferences**, or **Arduino IDE > Settings** on macOS).
* If you're using cloud storage to automatically "offload" files, try excluding your Sketchbook path from offloading, or change your Sketchbook location.
* The Sketchbook is often stored inside your user's Documents folder. In some cases, this folder may be configured to store files in a different location.
