Getting error of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' in sql server 2012 express version

hi
i got error while running the query in sql server 2012 express version, below is full description of that error.

Could not allocate a new page for database 'Swadhaar_JLG' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

Express version is limited up to 10GB of database size.

If this size limit not reached for your database Please check the database file property, if there is limited file growth set.

1. Check the datafile growth limit. you can check it from database property > click on File > check autogrowth setting.
2. Check the disk space where file exists physically.

Screen shot showing size 10240 MB so it means 10 GB limit reached.

10240 / 1024 = 10GB. -- this is the limitation of Express edition and file will not grow more.

The best solution in this case is that you have to move the database to a full version of SQL.
