Gigantic /var/vm folder - 26GB
I have MacBook Pro "13, latest series, 8GB RAM & SSD 256GB.
My /var/vm folder has became VERY big, much more than the expected 8GB. All files' last modified is today.
I once deleted them all and got a Kernel Panic, then after a restart they have been created again.
Is there anything I could do to reduce the size? What will it affect?
I have read several threads about this folder but most of them talk about 2-4 GB of size.
Thanks
