[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1337824, member: 182015"] Caution - don't delete anything that isn't in your User folder - that often results in reinstalling OS X!! Ya, it sounds like you don't have any drive free space!!! Free space is used at random by OS X, and it is necessary any time you change web pages, save files, make changes to files in a program, etc. So, you need to figure out if something is taking away your free space. The most common problem is when there is an error on the computer that keeps writing an error message to a "log" file or files. Use the Console Utility to read all the logs and note if any one has repeating error messages - like 5 messages per minute or more (could easily be > 10 per second!). Tell us what you find. Get the free maintenance program Onyx and run all the cleanup routines: [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/viewforum.php?f=15&sid=610f4a901c49f89cae4205b2d182d46b]Titanium's Software • View forum - Downloads and Histories[/url] [/QUOTE]
