Hello RETPHYSICIST,
From your post, it sounds likely you're seeing an alert about application memory. Is that right? That alert is related to your RAM/memory rather than your storage, and we recommend starting with this resource. You can use Activity Monitor to get an idea of exactly how much memory is in use, and whether you might need to quit some other processes. Here's how to View memory usage in Activity Monitor on Mac.
Depending on what you find, it might be worth testing in safe mode to see if you can replicate the issue there. Knowing if it happens in safe mode or not will help rule out some causes: Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Let us know the results. Best wishes.
