Deleting files when disk is full

Hi! Anyone know how to delete files when the disk is full? Clicking 'option and file' then delete isn't work, neither is option + command + delete.

Thanks,

MacBook Pro

Well, I don't know about the disk being full, but normally you can just drag a file to,the trash > empty. However, if you actually managed to fill it up, you might have incapacitated your drive and OS. You can try to boot from another source to access your drive and start deleting files. You need to have an absolute minimum of 15 GB of empty space at all times for the OS to function properly.
