[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1528256, member: 38864"] Filling your drives up to capacity is foolish. Even if you "can" do it, you have no space to add files or for your cache to "breathe". You need more space. A lot more than you have now. Your only other proper alternative is to re-download Mountain Lion from the App Store and make a clean installation; then cherry pick what you want to reinstall and migrate over. When you do re-download ML, make yourself a backup of that installer and make yourself a USB install stick.
