so i was trying to do a ui for a screen with squareline but when i verified the code it said

C:/Users/legam/AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/esp32/tools/esp-x32/2411/bin/../lib/gcc/xtensa-esp-elf/14.2.0/../../../../xtensa-esp-elf/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\legam\AppData\Local\arduino\sketches\9170689E268851C5DF6D60BD1BA94B08/ui.ino.elf section .dram0.bss' will not fit in region dram0_0_seg'
