Unable to write to log file because writing to it would reduce free disk space below ReservedSpace value

The xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener class could not write to the log file because:

The amount of free disk space (in bytes) is less than the value of the xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener.ReserveDiskSpace%2A property

—and—
The value of the xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener.DiskSpaceExhaustedBehavior%2A property was xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.DiskSpaceExhaustedOption.ThrowException.

To correct this error

Archive the existing logs and remove them from the computer to allow the xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener object to create new logs.
Change the value of the xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener.ReserveDiskSpace%2A property to a smaller number to reserve less disk space.
Set the xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener.DiskSpaceExhaustedBehavior%2A property to xref:Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.DiskSpaceExhaustedOption.DiscardMessages to discard messages without warning if there is not enough free disk space.
