I installed this program called Autoscrubber. After I launched it a pop up said I have not much hard drive space left. Well I should have about 100 gigs left. So I uninstall the program and still no hard drive space. Ran repair permissions and it fixed a bunch of stuff, but still missing space. Ran DiskWarrior fixed some things, but no luck. What else should I try?

Reboot.
I don't know what happens, but when I boot, I have about 300 MB free on my laptop.
After a week or so of java development, running JBoss, etc, I get the same pop-up.
Something must be making tons of temp files, because when I reboot, it's back to 300 MB

signatures are a waste of bandwidth
especially ones with political tripe in them.

Clearing Caches fixed my problem. I guess starting up this program created a 60 gig temp file somehwere. Needless to say I'm not using this program any longer.

You should not be using you machine with only 300MB available

Weird, I talked to someone who had the same problem, and it turned out to be a temp file created by a different app, but one that had the same purpose: Shredder.
Why is it that these apps that attempt to save you disk space by deleting cache files and such seem to have a tendency to occasionally eat your entire disk with huge cache files of their own? Oh, the irony...

I have every day for the last year and half.
Can't really justify upgrading the hard disk in the pismo and it works just fine, though thanks for your concern...
