You said your E: drive was external. If it is USB, I would recommend not using a USB drive for your temp files. PTPA will do a lot of reading/writing from there, so I would suggest using one of the fastest drives you have (obviously not an SSD boot drive).

I would also close PTPA and see if there are leftover files in the temp folder and go ahead and delete them. Everything should be saved in your SEQ file, so you shouldn't need the temp files.

You might also want to look in your PTBackup folder and delete older versions there as well.
