Over time, and I mean a day or two my Hard Disk space seems to reduce from > 1GB free to less than 300MB free. As soon as I restart I get the space back but I hate having to do that. I'm thinking of moving my swap file, suspecting it as the culprit. I'm also running monolingual to get rid of all the langauage packs that are taking up now valuable space. Can anyone shed any light on my disappearing HD space?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't turn up anything out of the ordinary. The biggest files were in fact two 70mb swap files. I think I might use swap cop and see how things go.
