I get that disk is full warning, too. There's a check box where you can tell it not to warn you again (but the check box must be ticked the next time you run erase free space, so it's useless).
Sometimes (my disk has four partitions, one of them with only OS X on it, no documents) I have only 944 kilobytes of free space left. I restart the machine and empty the trash, which usually works. But one time the trash told me it wouldn't open because it was secure deleting 29 gigabytes, and I couldn't stop it from doing so.
I could only power off the computer. When I restarted it and opened the trash, the folder was "Rescued Files" — 29 gigs worth. So I simply emptied it, and all was well.
