I need desperately help, I suddenly have no space in my macbook air, says its on 0 bytes available, have some file in my trash, that cannot delete due to some privileges I don't have... the only user I have is the recently created as admin mine. please help
 
Open the trash folder.
Open Terminal
Type rm .
Drag the file from the trash to the terminal window to the right of where yo typed rm .
The line should now look something like: MacName:~ username$ rm /Users/username/.Trash/com.apple.iTunes.plist
Hit return.
That should delete the file.

You probably have some wayward process filling up your error logs.
You can use Console App to move those logs to the trash, and Activity Monitor to find out what's generating all the log activity.
