My world has recently reached a size of 1GB. Previously, I could duplicate it thanks to the Copy World button (I create backups regularly) but since it is 1GB it does not work anymore.
The error message is: "You are almost out of data storage space! Minecraft has restricted access to this feature until you clear up additional storage space." which makes no sense because I have hundreds of GB available on my disk.
Copying other (smaller) worlds still work fine.
It's not a big deal because I can of course duplicate the 1GB world directory on the disk myself, but doing it in game thanks to this button was convenient.
Either this is a bug, or if the limitation is intentional for whatever reason, the error message should be modified to explain that large worlds cannot be copied with this button.

I am having what appears to be the same version in the Switch version. In my version though the game will refuse to save after 60-seconds of play, and crash to the Switch's menu not too long after. My world file is only 420mb and I have over 120gb free on my Switch.
I have seen several other people on Reddit with this exact problem as well.
Please tell me this is going to be fixed in the Switch version soon too, as this has rendered my game basically unplayable 😞
This is what's happened to my worlds! I've given up on minecraft. Mojang are not interested in fixing bugs. What is the point of fancy updates when I can't even play?
I experience the same on xbox one:
The game is updated today ( 2019.05.18) cca. 130MB, but i still cant play. When im trying to start a new game it says: im out of data storage: "You are out of data storage space! Minecraft has restricted access to this feature until you clear up additional storage space." This is weird because i have 352.2 GB free.
I can access to:
achievements
settings
I can't access:
new game
wardrobe
store
servers
Can you please check it out, why i can't play minecraft on my Minecraft Limited Edition Xbox One S ? 🙂

Interesting. This is not the only problem with storage and the like. I hope this gets resolved.
