Scratch

HELP!
I was making a project and it only has 2 sprites, one has 10 costumes, the other has one costume. Tere aren't any scripts, and the background is white. I tried uploading a small .PNG picture. A pink box pops up and says...

It says:
                           Space is low
          Proceed            Abandon              Debug

Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!

Low space detection is now disabled. It will be restored when you close or proceed from this error notifier. Don't panic, but do proceed with caution.

Here are some suggestions:

If you suspect an infinite recursion (the same methods calling each other again and again), then close this debugger and fix the problem.

If you want this computation to finish, then make more space available (read on) and choose "proceed" in this debugger. Here are some ways to make more space available...
       >Close any windows that are not needed. <-- did that
       >Get rid of some large objects (e.g., images). <-- don't have any, they're small
       >Leave this window on the screen, choose "save as..." from the screen menu, quit, restart the Squeak VM with a larger memory allocation, then restart the image you just saved, and choose "proceed" in this window. <-- restarted scratch, but i dont know what the squeak VM is or how to choose a larger memory allocation

If you want to investigate further, choose "debug" in this window. Do not use the debugger "fullStack" command unless you are certain that the stack is not very deep. (trying to show the full stack will definitely use up all remaining memory if the low-space problem is caused by an infinite recursion!). <-- don't know what a full stack is O_O

I tried clicking proceed but the window popped up again
the only things i have running are
firefox
scratch
