Hard drive disc is almost full?
I have 141+ GB still available in my iCloud account. Why do I keep getting notices that my hard drive disc is almost full?

iCloud Has its Own Storage:
Internal storage(that of your Mac) is not affected by your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
So, what to do:
Clear Space:
Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:
What Space to Clear:
A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:
- Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
- Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.
- Go Here: Clear the History and Cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - Apple Support

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:
Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
