    Are you running out of disk space or something?
    The error it self it not related to prefabs. The prefabs system simply relies on the lower level file operations of the editor and I don't know why they would fail.

    I'm seeing this on Unity 2019.4.8f1, and for this project it's when I select a GameObject in a prefab with an OVROverlay component on it (from the Oculus SDK), and that

    I'm not running out of drive space, either. Deleting the project Temp folder didn't help.

    It seems like we are getting sporadic reports of this and one cause could antivirus software locking the files, if you have something like that maybe disabling it for your Unity project makes the problem go away.
