Hullo all, a few days ago I noticed that my hard drive space was slowly disappearing at the rate of maybe ten megs a minute. I thought I was imagining things until I ran 'Where is my disk space?' and it found a file that was 8 gigs big. I forget the exact name of the file (sorry...) but I seem to remember it relating to xfactor (some kind of temporary file, maybe?). Anyway, I proceeded to move it to the trash, but of course the trash wouldn't empty so I ran Force Empty Trash. The trash seemed to be empty but the disk space was still missing and Where is my disk space? would no longer find this 8 gig file. Disk space left eventually hit zero at which point I had a kernel panic and had to reboot...only to find that there was now 12.5 gigs left. Hmm. What's most odd is that while all this was happening I wasn't online at all (I'm in the process of moving and don't have internet yet) and thus not running xfactor or anything. Everything seems to be back to normal but I of course now get paranoid when I see even a teeny bit of disk space going away.
If anyone has any insight at all, it'd be appreciated.
