The empty space on your main drive may be filling up with Virtual Memory used by Apple or Java. OS X seems to like about 10% free space. 100 MB is too small.

Does the space recover after a restart? Leaving LW running for more than a day can easily use up 1 GB of virtual memory. Run Activity Monitor (in the Applications/Utilities Folder) to see the details.
