When running SAGA Next Gen in QGIS for Channel Network and Drainage Basins, it showed "The following layers were not correctly generated". Usually when this happens, I would change the save file to a location rather than as a temporary file. But even after changing it and also changing the working directory, the problem still persists.

I needed to extract the drainage basins from the DEM.
