Yeah, I saw that. It was about 36G, and I removed it. Still the harddisk remained full. What I did not take into account was that that file was still open. So it didn't get erased from the harddrive. Logging out and in again solved the problem. Stupid me! On the other hand, this kind of behaviour makes avidemux unusable.
