I don't believe this.  I cleared up so much space.  It read over 70GB
free.  Now zero again.

I'm using the GUI Disk Usage Analyzer and it is showing my / full with
only 285GB!  It is a 500 GB Drive.

I don't know what else to do here.  I cleaned probably 100-200 GB of
space, but my drive only said around 60-70 GB free.  I started it this
morning and just let it sit there while I was at work.  I come home and
zero bytes free.
