hello, i have ran into some unknown issues with my os x and even though there have been similar topics discussed i would like to address mine and i hoe someone can help me out.
1. I am not sure if I accidentally turned on time machine or not , but at some point when i restarted a computer i noticed different folders and files that i have not created myself on my HD such as
.com.apple.timemachine.supported
.fseventsd
.hotfiles.btree
.Spotlight-V100
.Trash
.vol
var
etc
tmp

I do not know if this folders are safe to delete, since i am not using time machine.

2. Trying to download rather big file 34gb i received numerous warnings that my disk isfull, and it is not. i have 105GB used and 126GB free, also I am using 4gb RAM. so there should not be a problem. I saw a few topics regarding disk space warning, that were suggestinng that the user runs an application which shows where most of HD is used.
I cleaned a few stuff, but still, how can I prevent from this warning to appear.

Thank you for any suggestions
