Frequently, programs (especially older ones) limit the size of the variable used to calculate free disk space. When this happens, and your disk space is too much, the higher end byte gets truncated, and because the rest of the variable is lower than what is necessary, you get a fake error of “insufficent disk space” (this happened with Microsoft Office years ago).

One solution might be to copy folders that contain as much data as possible to temporary files until you reduce your available disk space to a smaller number, such as 120 GB.

I used File Shredder to shred free disk space and I now keep getting the following message:
“Life Update Warning!
There is not enough disk space to install all available updates”

This message is in error because I have over 400 Gigs of free space. Does this have something to do with File Shredder replacing all free space with some other value? How do I correct the message?

Any help you can give will be appreciated.
Thank you.
