Hello, Typically this means /home. That is where the user accounts are set up, and the browsers will write to your login directory. If you type in 'df -k', it will show you all your partitions and how much space is allocated to each one and how much is being used. Presumably one of your partitions is running out of disk space, so you need to delete some files. If you don't have a line that indicates /home is a separate partition, then deleting anything under / will work as well. Just rerun the df command after deleting files to see how much space you freed up.
