How to Fix a “Missing a temporary folder” error in WordPress

So I’ve recently been having an issue uploading images onto my WordPress sites.

The error I get is “Missing a temporary folder” and it is frustrating…

As always, I did a quick google search to see what could be the issue and found some great results:

and

https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/missing-a-temporary-folder/

However, those weren’t my issue.

My issue is that my server is hovering near the max file limit.

This means that the temp file isn’t created and WordPress interoperates it as not having a directory on the server. Sometimes it would even work (based on file usage on the server) which made the whole thing even more complicated.

Actual Fix?

Clean up files off the server.
