Steam tells me 'there is not enough free disk space'. Instead, I've solved the issue by manually moving the game to the HDD and then back again to the SSD every time a patch is up, so it downloads the patch on the HDD then I move the game back to the SSD.

I was aware that it requires 85gb free so I went on reluctantly to clean up at 87gb I tried downloading and I got this message, after more and more cleaning im now up to 113gb free and I still get the same message. Interesting to note however is the more I clean, it does not matter steam reads me only having 64gb avaliable when it needs 67 to install it I do not know whats going on. I even uninstalled multiple games on steam to free up space but the 3gb wont budge to free up space.
Can someone please help as this will take forever to install without taking into account this error Cheers.
Steam error 'You do not have enough disk space available to run this game. Please free up some disk space and try again.' I get this error regardless of the game I try to install. I have more than 15 GB free on my drive. I reset the permissions, checked the hard drive, tried to install a new steam directory on another hard drive. I've also tried to re-install Stream I am using Yosemite 10.10.1. Did not use steam for a while, but have no problems on my other systems.
The 'how to uninstall and re-install steam' does not apply to Yosemite as far as I can tell. I have no library folder in my users/(my username) I am waiting on Steam support to help.
I have an open ticket, but would like to figure this out. I think it might be an easy fix - or I'll just have to wait. You might want to invest in an external hard drive to store some of your stuff. If you are around 15GB of free space, you are running pretty low. That said, I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to install some smaller games anyway.
It's possible the Mac is holding on to some of that space for a page file or something similar. As far as the Library folder you were talking about in your first post, the User Library was hidden starting in 10.6 or 10.7. To get there, click on Finder, then at the top of the screen select Go, then Go to Folder.
In there type: /Library That will get you to it. The issue is a little confusing, but it's possible you've just run into one of the weird quirks with Steam on Mac. One thing you might look into is if you have any games that you know you had installed previously and aren't showing up in your Steam Library. In the Go to Folder. Field type this: /Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/ This should take you to a list of games you have installed on your machine.
If you see some in there that aren't showing up in your Steam Library, try deleting them (ones you can live without for now). It may be that Steam is reading your disk space wrong because it's not sure what's installed and what isn't.
I'm not sure if any of that will help, but I hope you get it figured out. I found a fix that works for me: The short story: just run a backup of your system to clear the purgeable space on the HD. I know this is an older thread but seeing as I didn't see the fix here, I thought I'd let you know how I got around this issue. I looked around the web and found out that it may have to do with the 'purgeable' space on the HD.
These are files which Apple's OS cues for reclamation if needed. For example if you were going to copy or download a large file onto your HD it would reclaim as many purgeable files as necessary to make space. When I looked at 'About this Mac' it showed I had about 90 GB 'free space' on my drive but taking a look at 'Get Info' for my HD showed that 60 GB of it was 'purgeable' so that meant that 60 GB was actually still made up of files lingering on my drive waiting to be reclaimed. If it is an Apple app like Photos, iMovie, iTunes, etc needing that space, then the OS would accept the new large file coming inbound and would work through the purgeable space, deleting those files in the background as the new big file copies onto the drive. (Disclaimer: I am not an Apple tech so I don't know the exact goings on behind the scenes but I understand this is sort of what's happening) The problem seems to be with Steam looking at the HD and only seeing the actual free space. Steam must not know that purgeable means able to be reclaimed if needed. So the new 45 GB game I want to download won't fit because it's larger than my empty space on the drive.but not larger than that empty space + the purgeable space.
So how to clear the purgeable space. I realized that lots of those purgeable files are backup files and older versions of documents from Keynote, Pages, etc. Any Mac app which uses the Time Machine technology to store older versions of files you're using are contributing to this large purgeable area. Once I ran a backup, it must have either copied over the old versions and backups to my external backup drive and then deleted them from my internal HD or it just deleted them at the end of the backup. Either way, my available space jumped up to 83 GB and I was in business. Hope it works the same for you if you're having that problem. Originally posted by:I was having that problem on Windows 10 x64, had free space of 20GB, was trying to install a game that required 1400MB and that message popped up.
What I did to fix this was to browse to: Steam-Settings-Downloads-Steam Library Folders Then I right-clicked my game folder (C: in my case) and selected 'Repair Library Folder'. Finished the process successfully and I was able to install the game afterwards. Just wanted to say thank you because this info really helped me out:). I just received this error trying to install to my C drive with plenty of space. Managed to fix it because I had an external drive that I made an additional steam folder on for games I don't play as frequently. I re-added that steam folder (steam-settings-downloads-content libraries), then when I went to install the game again I noticed it defaulted to the D drive. Changed it to C and all went well.
So it looks like if you have multiple steam folders where one is on an external drive, then you remove that drive, steam assumes there's zero drive space or something because it can't access the additional steam folder (even though it doesn't show up on steam until you add the folder again).
