Hi Lou,

Have you c= hecked the Application Support folders in the Library folders? I find that t= hese get clogged up with cache files so I do a weekly, manual clean of these= .

You need to go to both;

Users/Yourname/Library. In the Find= er, hold down Option and click on the Go menu, this will allow you to open t= he Library folder (usually hidden)

The After Effects disk cache folde= rs can get pretty big. I advise having them on a separate drive.

You m= ay also want to check the root library folder too; /Library

Hope this= helps.

"Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more spa= ce

I also lists my open apps to f= orce quit.   I have 176 GB left on  my startup drive and 16 G= B of RAM.

The window never goes away even when I force quit apps but i= t can happen if I just have mail open.

Running OS 10.8.5

What i= s causing this and how do I get rid of it?

thanks

Lou

cheers,
