Thank you so much for your quick replies, I found a folder called autosave in that directory. By deleting .py files in that folder, the issue is resolved.

I think this is a problem with your computer because we don’t constrain the size of that dialog. So the only solution we can give you is to find a directory called .spyder-py3 under your Users home directory (C:\Users<your user name>) and remove it.

That will wipe out your Spyder settings but at the same time avoid the appearance of that dialog.
