How to disable your disk is almost full!

How to disable your disk is almost full! Please help, its annoying!!!! Please help me... its my laptop, i can do whateever I want!!!!! Please help me... Its appearing in every 10 seconds!!!!!!!!

Could you please provide statistics on your disk drive such as capacity, used space and available space?

You could just answer the question which is how to disable the notification. They are not asking about freeing up space.

Hi,

There is no way to just disable the message. It is telling you your disk is critically near full. You have to take this very seriously. If it gets any fuller, it could stop working entirely.

First, backup your internal drive to an external drive with either Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner (free trial); in this case, I recommend TM as you’d have to download more data onto your internal HD to use CCC, and you shouldn’t do that in your situation. Do this asap as your HD may stop allowing access to it at any time.

The About This Mac > Storage report depends on the Spotlight index and may have a glitch, meaning it is too often not correct. Try rebuilding your Spotlight index, then restart: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716

If no luck, try booting into Safe Mode: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 and check out the Storage report. It won't show categories (everything will show as Other), but should show accurate the amount of free space out of the total capacity. Also go to Applications > Utilities > System Information > Hardware > Storage to see your total Capacity and space Available and/or click once on your HD icon on the desktop > go to File menu > select Get Info > note what it says about Capacity and Available. These should be accurate.

If you have at least 5GBs free space available, preferably 10GBs, then read on, otherwise you’re just going to have to delete/transfer as many large files (videos, pictures, audio) as possible to reach 10GBs of free space or more. Once you have enough free space available to allow you to download an app to help you out, follow the next paragraph.

Again, if you haven’t yet done so, backup in case you delete something you wish you hadn't. Then use one or more of the following to see exactly where your space is being used, then delete or transfer and then delete larger files (and empty the trash; you may also have to restart for the extra free space to show up) until you increase the available space to at minimum 10GBs and that will do as a stopgap measure (you should optimally leave more than that free). Do not transfer/delete anything unless you're sure of what it is, and not something the OS needs:

They might not be asking about freeing space on their disk but that is in fact what their problem is hence the reason I am asking my question.

It cannot be disabled. It exists to tell you that the computer's hard drive is so full that the computer cannot function properly. Continuing to use the computer in that situation could end with applications crashing or freezing, the OS freezing, and even the computer refusing to restart. Allan isn't trying to be unhelpful.
