Make sure you are saving to a location where you have "permission", such as My Music or My Documents.

Don't use punctuation in filenames. The exceptions are -dash- and _underscore_. In particular, use ISO-style dates. Today is 2019-06-03. Short variations can be 190603.
You may have seen dates like that in other software. This is why.

Hi Koz. I have tried to save the file without any punctuation symbol and I got the same error.

First: Can you create a new, small file and save/export it? This might confirm that Audacity is working correctly and the problem is with your particular project.
Second: If you can save/export your test file, then there must be some kind of corruption in your project file. You may try opening a new project then copy the problem project (using select all or Ctrl A and Copy) then paste it into the new project file. That might, or might not, get you past the corruption issue.
Please post back results.
