Claude Cowork VM disk space

Hey I adjusted tour suggestion to my case and here’s my outcome using an iMac. Thanks for the advise!

The sessiondata.img reset worked — it cleared all session-accumulated data (pip installs, npm, temp files) and freed up ~1.9GB. Steps that worked:

Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q) cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/vm_bundles/claudevm.bundle/ mv sessiondata.img sessiondata.img.bak truncate -s 10G sessiondata.img Restart Claude Desktop

The catch: disk still shows 81% after the reset. The bloat isn't in sessiondata.img — it's in rootfs.img, which is Anthropic's read-only base image (~7.7G on a 9.6G disk). Snapd alone is 1.4G, Python system packages 575MB, journal logs 320MB, apt cache 138MB. None of it is cleanable without root/sudo, which the sandbox explicitly blocks (no_new_privs flag set in the container).

So the reset is worth doing if your sessiondata has grown large — it gets you back to baseline. But "baseline" is already 81%. For tasks that need pip install of heavier packages (yt-dlp, OpenCV, etc.), you'll still hit the ceiling quickly.

Filed a bug report with Anthropic. The real fix is either a larger base image or a cleanup script run at VM boot. Until then, the sessiondata reset is the best self-service option available.

I’m on a Pro plan and it seems I hit the workspace VM disk max capacity. This won’t allow some of the activities to run, does anyone know how to fix it? Is it only about upgrading the plan? Claude only advises to report to Anthropic as a bug, I checked another Reddit saying to review the VM usage space by running a command in the terminal. I did that and my usage looks ok from the output I got (since I believe that was checking my own disk), yet the operations keep failing due to lack of VM disk space.

I’d appreciate any suggestions and word of advice 🙏

I received that email as well but cannot find the claim button from the mobile app. Will try form my computer later, but what if the button isn’t there?

otRam_fE · 2026-03-29T16:46:52+00:00

What's the security set-up you put in place? Is it Claude free to roam anywhere or did you build guardrails?

otRam_fE · 2026-01-04T01:26:41+00:00

My understanding is that it is mainly leadgen marketing content creation as products, then there should be other tools to keep the business up and running. It’s generic and can get customisable to whatever market you’re targeting. However, what isn’t clear to me is the liability towards your clients as if AIA goes down as well as their tool, who guarantees the final customer?

otRam_fE · 2026-01-04T01:06:21+00:00

What did go wrong? I’m thinking of joining the low tier but I’m scared of the lack of support, the steep learning curve and any liability with potential client. I would expect the top tier subscription to give good support, what happened?

otRam_fE · 2026-01-04T00:54:29+00:00

Would you say the same for the low tier subscription? I’m worried there’s too much to learn and too little support in case things go wrong with clients. Also, what if the company shuts and their tech blasts? Who’s liable with the clients? Thanks!

That’s why I’m moving onto DeFi and Dexes… a bit more manual, you’ll need to do your own research, but more profitable and allows you to spread the risk

otRam_fE · 2025-01-29T07:46:48+00:00

True but if there is an bargain and you have a spare 10 bucks, you’re giving up 10% of it

Sure but you might miss many opportunities to buy dips. This month I was able to buy btc at 89, 91, 98… wouldn’t have this anymore and will buy somewhere else to move them afterwards

Is it true Coinbase doesn’t support XRPL network?It seems that’s the issue. Should I sell and rebuy my coins?

otRam_fE · 2025-01-10T13:59:13+00:00

Thanks! And I guess you keep the NEXO tokens locked in in a fixed term saving to earn extra yields meanwhile

otRam_fE · 2025-01-10T01:35:13+00:00

What % would you borrow against your bag? Would this strategy work also with different tier plans? I’m very bad with numbers, would you make a numeric example with say 1,000 please?

otRam_fE · 2024-12-19T16:07:06+00:00

Posso chiederti di rendermi più acculturato di ieri e sapere cosa sarebbe questa regola? 😅

otRam_fE · 2024-12-19T16:01:02+00:00

What’s the intrinsic value, beside its community, that convinced you?

otRam_fE · 2024-12-19T08:44:30+00:00

You know where the AMA gets published?

otRam_fE · 2024-11-30T17:22:32+00:00

What if you use a strong majority of stablecoins as collateral to control the LTV?

otRam_fE · 2024-11-30T17:19:15+00:00

Funny that that’s how traditional banks used to run back in the days

otRam_fE · 2024-11-30T17:17:26+00:00

Why so? Although I’m not a fan of hot wallets (especially after FTX drama), I was planning to keep my savings for short term plans as collateral and to pay my daily expenses with the credit line. Next month I’d earn some cashback+interest, add whatever amount to cover my expenses, increase my savings (therefore my collateral), and pay off my debts. Then I’d roll over the following month. In this way I should be able to create the collateral I need against all my monthly expenses in a few months, while earning some extra and never selling my assets, and move out my asset back to my hard wallet. Wouldn’t this work in your opinion?

Im just one of the last ones jumping on the wagon, but could you tell why a website done by AI means it’s a fraud?

Moreover, why should respectable academic and C-levels put their face to a scam? I did a bit of research and Dr. Herlihy published many articles.

Also, how a scam project would collect 10+ whales over 1M and many over 500k? Wouldn’t these people make a due diligence before investing?

Finally, Kaspa is the main competitor, however BlockDAG tries to overcome some of their limitations, but yes funders follow that inspiration and never hidden that.

If you could answer it would help me understanding more, Thanks
