I just had Windows tell me that I have 0 bytes of space left. I had 500 MB left just hours ago. I cleaned up a bit, I had 600 MB free now. I then got the message again, 0 bytes free. I cleaned up even more. 800 MB free. And just now I got it again. What the fuck? My partition is just 32 GB big (Mac OS limitations and w/e) Where did my space go??

Just freed more space, and right now I'm looking at my computer folder, and with every refresh more space vanishes. It's Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Done a malware scan yet?
Doing a Nod 32 scan right now.
Check if steam is constantly filling the freed space
Just lost 200 MB..

Okay, I rebooted and it's gone. What the fuck..
Those are called temporary files. Those will delete always after you reboot.

Occasionally run this.
Temp files, browser caches, other caches, pagefile, etc are all fluctuating causing this. It's why Windows gives you a warning when your drive becomes 90% full as you'll start to notice this and it'll become a problem.
I had this problem about 8 months ago, it turned out to be Windows error reporting being pissed because it couldn't connect to the internet and kept creating huge memory dumps and filling up hard drive space. By the time I caught it, it had racked up an astounding 21 GB of memory dumps and log files. Rebooting it fixed the issue, though I don't remember what it was.
Open the system log and see if there are tons of spammed errors; If there are, that's likely where your drive space was going. You can also gain more space by deleting the tons of system restore points and only keeping the most recent ones.
Try downloading WinDirstat to see what files are big
Did you watch alot of porn that day?

This. All your problems with temp files just go away like that.
