This warning keeps popping up even though I have 990MB available (quick look at HD shows 1.22GB?). The amount of free space keeps changing even though I’m not adding any files. iTunes is on external disk.
This is on a mid-2010 Mac Pro running Sierra 10.12.6, 24GB RAM.
Any advice is appreciated.
Mac Pro, macOS 10.12
You are out of space. 1.2 GB is about 0.2% of your drive. You should keep at least 15% free.
Try this: Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support
And get an external drive to move data to.

I moved some files to an external drive & also move the Photos Library to an external drive. Now have 11.6 GB free space.
Thanks!

You still do not have enough free space. Move more data to the external drive or delete a bunch of stuff.
You should not ignore this any longer or you will be in a place where the Mac does not have sufficient storage to startup, and there is currently insufficient drive space for Time Machine's temporary files, so you won't even have a current backup to work from when you are forced to wipe that drive and reinstall when the storage runs out.
I'm vet good at math but calculated I need about 70GB free? **** thats seems like a lot.
When I tried to re-link the Photos library I get this message I'm not sure what it means. Do I click to delete the incomplete items? How can I view these items before deleting?
