Hard drive fills up for no reason

[seattlemac]

Today it went to zero space remaining. No idea why. So I had to force quit a bunch of stuff. And miraculously it went to 4 GB.... what's going on? I can't find an unusual folder or anything. Is my MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GHZ running 10.5.8 being used by something/someone remotely? What to do?

those application might be taking virtual ram from HD

 

[seattlemac]

it says zero hard drive space

can that happen from virtual memory being used?

Try out Grand Perspective and see if you can determine where it's at.

I'll download that and

i checked it out with Omni Disk sweeper and didn't see anything odd.

 

[uaecasher]

what are the apps name

 

[seattlemac]

FCP, DVDSP, InDesign, Photoshop

Those were the big ones open during the afternoon when it seemed to fill up... but this never happened before - just started 2 days ago. Can't figure out what's different....
