Mac OS X statup disk has become full unexpectedly!
Lately I've been having a hard time keeping up with available memory/ statup disk space. After backing up files, I deleted a few gigs worth of files leaving more space for the system. But after stepping away, I came back hours later and suddenly was back to ZERO space available on my startup disk again.
It appears there are over 30GBs in my "private" folder alone (where all the logs are kept). I'm worried there might be some redundant or looping going on. Attached below is an example of repeated errors I pulled from the Console. I think this is what happened and may happen every time I turn the computer on. Please let me know what I need to do or if you need more information! Thanks so much ahead of time!!
