Low Disk Space Warning

Over the last 3 weeks or so I will get a low disk space warning about 2 times a week. I know that over 50% of the disk space is unused. I have to reboot and then everything is OK till the next time the warning pops up. Any thoughts on what could be the cause of this?

Thanks, Jeff

Something could be generating huge temporary files that are removed when you reboot. Best to eliminate that as a potential issue first.

Download a copy of Agent Ransack. Then next time you get the warning, use it to search for large files that have been recently modified. Maybe greater than 1Gb and modified within the past week.

Agent Ransack makes it easy to save results to a text file or csv file or whatever. Do it to a text file and post the findings here if you want help figuring out what is doing the deed and what to do about it.

If no hits on the 1Gb file, try the same for 100Mb files and within the past day or two.

 

I will do that and post what I find. Thanks Newt
