Default File swap space

I've had a message saying I don't have enough "File Swap Space" to load a game.... Well I've never heard of it?

Anyone shed any light on how I free up some space?

I don't have a lot of things on my pc and I've deleted my Temp internet files

Thats referring to the windows swap file, not how much free space there is. Check your file swap settings, in control panel, system, performance/settings, advanced, virtual memory/change. The pagefile should be set on at least one drive, and probably system managed, this setting should suffice. If it's already set this way, I would reboot and reinstall the game.

It should be ok if its system managed. So I dont know why the game would be saying that.

How much RAM do you have? Some ppl say swap file sbe X2 your ram for the minimum and maximum setting. But this can be bad advice if you dont have much ram.
