View state issue with apex:inputfile and required field validation

I have an input file on a VF page. And there is a required field as well. The problem is that if someone uploads a file and doesn't enter the required field and clicks on Save, I am getting the "Max View State" error. Because the file goes into the view state and SF internally throws an error.

Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi Nupur,

I am following whatever is mentioned in the post. The issue I am facing is only when there is a required field on the page and the user doesnt enter it. With this the SF internally throws an error and we do not get to the controller at all.
