Research direction

Trace the deployment flow and its SFTP failure handling, then identify where the current robot program is deleted and where SystemCore storage availability can be checked. Done means a full-storage deployment preserves the existing program and reports a specific out-of-storage error instead of a generic SFTP failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

WPILib

When attempting to deploy code when the internal storage of SystemCore is full, the deployment process will delete the current code, then fail to deploy with a generic SFTP failure error message. This leaves the robot with no code, and no clear indication of why deployment is failing.

This process can be improved by determining if SystemCore has enough available storage space before deleting the current robot program, then printing a more specific "out of storage space" error instead of a generic SFTP error.
