HT201210 startup disk is full-what does this mean and what do I do?

When syncing my iphone I get an error message that said my start up disk was full.  Now it won't backup my phone to my computer.  What does that mean and what do I do?

Click on your hard drive once. Then File > Get Info.  What does it report there for space (capacity and "available")? Have you emptied the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)?  If you have truly filled up you hard drive then it is critical you copy files off onto an external hard drive soon.  Macs need a lot of free drive space at all times and you may experience frequent crashes, slow down, and file loss if you don't free up space (15+ GB at all times at least)..
