Gang I'm baffled again.
this is os x tiger - 10.4.11
I have been cleaning up this elder statesman and getting rid of a lot of files, after which wiping out the Trash bin, then zeroing out the Free Space. The 128GB disk has 118GB available according to disk utility.
BUT I am getting the warning "your startup disk is almost full".
I have combed the web but the answers are [pardon] boneheaded: "well, clean out more space!". the only thing left here is os x and the embedded apps!
Can someone explain how to either remedy a real condition or stop os x from thinking its running out of headroom?
