Sounds to me like you're confusing hard drive space with RAM. It sounds to me like your hard drive is too full, so you need to delete some data immediately.

Did you empty the trash?
If so, in Finder, open a window with Macintosh HD. Click the "Go" menu. Choose "Go to Folder.." Copy this next line:
private/var/log
and paste it in the box. Once the folder opens, sort the files inside by Size. Do you see anything overly large? Nothing in here should be more than a few MB in size. If you see files that are larger, delete them & empty the trash.

Yes, go ahead and delete them. They'll be recreated if needed.
Once you've got those gone, download OmniDiskSweeper and have it inventory your hard drive. It will help determine where your space has gone off to. Do NOT delete anything unless you know what it is!

thanks very much for all your help.....im after noticing one problem though. I can't seem to open my Itunes now. It says "Itunes application cannot be opened. An unknown error has occurred (13010)"
Would i have deleted something critical from that folder do you think?

Try downloading iTunes from the Apple website & installing the newest version.

Hmm. Only other things I can think of is installing the 10.5.7 or 10.5.8 combo updates on your computer to see if that cures things. Otherwise, you may want to head over to the iTunes forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=153
And post your issue to see if the folks in those boards can help.

So I am having your same problem. I am currently trying what was listed, am downloading OmniDiskSweeper now. What else did you do to fix this?
