What
Claude Code watches how much free space is left on the disk holding your working folder. When space runs low, the message it gives Claude used to say only how much was free. It now starts with "Disk space is low:" and tells Claude to:
delete only temporary files it created itself
ask you before deleting any other file
tell you if that does not free enough space
Why
It lowers the risk of Claude deleting your own files to make room.
