I recently started encountering an issue regarding the Wii home menu. Any time I try to access it or other channels like the Mii Channel, I'm met with the same error: "Your Wii System Memory is full. Use the Data Management screen to manage your save data." However, when checking the Data Management settings, I have 1470 blocks free. No matter what I do or how many save files I delete, I still get met with the same error. I even tried doing a system format to see if that would fix the problem, but the message still appeared, blocking me from doing anything on the home screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this or should I just re-dump my Wii's NAND and import it again? Please help me out, it'd mean a lot to me!
"Wii System Memory is full."

I just started experiencing this as well. Rolling back my dolphin version to a couple of months ago fixes the issue

Can either of you use the Tools -> Manage NAND -> Check NAND option from this PR (direct link to Windows Build) and report back what it says? If it wants to repair the NAND let it and then re-check, you should get a message about how much storage of your NAND is used.

Hi thank you for the reply, I just did it and it is saying that the system-reserved part of nand is over double what the allowed size is somehow. Weird thing again, is that I have not had any issues with this until about a month or 2 ago. If I roll back my version of Dolphin the issue preventing me from accessing the home screen goes away (obviously that does not address the root issue.
What do I do about this issue so the system reserved part is fixed? 07-15-2023, 12:23 AM
Wow, this is stupid I just figured out what was going on in my case thanks to your nand size window. I had a folder in the Wii folder called zExtras that I used to keep a backup of my nand, and several other things related to the Nand. I have had this folder in there for 6-7 years, but I guess somewhere in the last few months a check was put into place to check the size of the Wii folder against the nand, instead of the size of the folders inside of the Wii folder that are actually for the Nand, so Dolphin was taking my zExtras folder which was in the root of the Wii folder, as Nand space being taken up. Moving that folder shows no errors inside the nand check box and the wii menu is back to normal.

Due to some unfortunate design decisions made over a decade ago, the 'Wii' folder in the user directory is the NAND and everything in it is part of the NAND. Dolphin and the emulated console has no way to know whether any given folder in it is meant to be part of the NAND as seen by the Wii or not, so it has to assume that everything is. What you're likely running into is that some months ago we improved our emulation of the NAND storage metrics that are reported to the emulated software to be more accurate to real hardware, so now your NAND is seen as over the filesize limit when it previously wasn't.

Ahh got it thank you for the clarification. My only other question at that point is, do I have to move my SD card file and folder from out of the Wii folder as well or does that get excluded from those metrics?

The files in the root (ie, directly under Wii and not in any subdirectories) are ignored, which is also a legacy thing. It's a bit of a mess, really.
