Memory on my mac 10.6 keeps decreasing day by day

[darrylthebest]

This started when i drag dropped all the apps from the mackintosh HD to my Application folder on the mac
i realized the memory went down from 30 gb free to 5 GB free
and vmware fusion would work saying tht u have to free some space
however i deleted all the drag dropped apps
and emptied the trash
still the memory remained the same [ 5 GB]
now i wanted VmWare to work , so i deleted some files and freed like 34GB
and VmWare worked
however now the problem i face is
everyday u chk finder for the free memory and its getting lowered or decreased by like 2 GB
like if yesterday it was 34 GB, today its 32.80GB, thn the next day it is 29.78GB
I aint downloading any new files
I removed Vmware , still doesnt work [ memory keeps decreasing]
Pls help me the main cause of the problem
Thank you !!!

I don't have a solution to your problem, but I do know that you don't have a problem with your memory decreasing, it's a problem with your hard drive space decreasing. You'd probably get more responses by changing the subject of your original message to reflect that. You can do it using the Edit button on the original message and then clicking the Go Advanced button.

Not sure what could be causing this, but try downloading Grand Perspective, its an application which shows you all the files on your hard disk in an easy to understand way. Basically bigger files look big and take up more space than smaller ones, give it a try

Looks like you have a runaway log file, you'll need something that shows you the size of everything on your HD, like Grand Perspective mentioned above.
