<<<it was 45 minates non stop into one file>>>

It’s not a file until Audacity gets done capturing. Right now it’s a Project Capture. It could be hundreds of files.

It sounds like you’re filling up your hard drive. Windows? Start > Right Click My Computer > C: > Properties. Read how big the drive is and how full it is.
