Stop receiving "Your disk is almost full" notification

I'm receiving a "Your disk is almost full" notification, and I'm desperate for a method to turn it off. Every time I close it, it pops back up within 10 seconds. Every time. I'm running with about 3GB of free space on a 128GB hard drive, and I'm fine with that. I've been managing for the past 3 years with 1-5 GB of free space and I have no performance issues. I just want to stop receiving the notification. Anyone know how?

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

"He never said he has a SSD"

He has a 128GB Apple SSD with Trim on.

How do you help the OP?

I just realized that I hit the wrong reply button in my last post...... The post should have been addressed to Ajaba.

Hi Babowa, "what me worry", you have always good posts , does not matter if they are correctly addressed or not: they contribute (not from München, but close this time).

Wrong John. This warning can be safely ignored when it's coming up and you have over 10GB of free space. That is more than enough free space for OSX.

I may try that, but I’ve already removed over 120 gb in files. When I do a properties inquiry on my SSD I show 129.93 gb available and 129.88 purgeable.
