You have run out of disk space that SAS requires for either temporary dataset processing or for creating permanent datasets.

Check the location of the SAS dataset being written when the error occured. If it is your PC check your hard drive for free space available. Try and free up space by deleting files you no longer need. You may find that SAS has not deleted old temporary datasets (where your WORK libname points to) so you need to clean this up yourself.

If remote drives are involved try to free up some space also.

Is there a SAS statement that I can use to delete the temporary files or how to Do that?

the below code will helps to you delete all datasets in work library.

proc datasets library=work kill;

run;

make sure before delete it, if you no need any datasets under in work library.

if you want to delete only particular datasets means then you can use below code for delete.

proc datasets library=work;

delete <DSN>;

run;

Greetings,

when i try to run
"proc datasets library=work kill;

run;"

as you have listed earlier, the same OUT OF RESOURCES error pops up again. 

Would you kindly explain what I am doing wrong/how I can possibly fix this? Would I need to start over from scratch?

(I do not have access to documents folders or other settings since the SAS license is on a school computer.)
