has currently 8+GB of free disk space, while working these symptoms appear:
- the computers slows down dramatically
- the disk space is running out
- "your startup disk is full" message appears
restarting the computer "fix" the problem but the symptoms appear faster from day to day
- running ClamXav didn't find a virus.

@Ramhound more than 8 GB? sounds wrong that's a lot of free space! how much you think it needs to run properly? – liv a – 2015-03-03T07:09:22.990
Absolute minimum 5%. Aim for 15% as a better working guide. – Tetsujin – 2015-03-03T08:27:05.820
