I just tried downloading a 134mb file onto my rMBP but I got the alert that "There isn't enough free space on Macintosh HD to save the download." I did just Boot Camp it but I still have over 130Gb of free space on my Mac partition. Does anybody know why it's telling me I don't have enough space when I clearly do?
Got a tip for us?

Not enough disk space!?

To find out, where you storage capacity is being used, you can use the following free applications, if Finder reports low free capacity:
Maybe try a combination of several, if you still can't find the "missing" capacity.
And what exact Mac OS X version do you have?
Do you use Time Machine?
What is this "Other" in the storage tab? What is eating up my space? by theSeb

I'll try those, and I'm on Mountain Lion. I don't use Time Machine.

I tried all of those and they all show I have 136Gb of free space. And I just tried downloading the file again after deleting a 3Gb file and it still said there wasn't enough space, which is impossible not only because I have enough disk space but I just freed up almost 30x more space than that one file needs.
