What's Wrong?
Include: "Cowork VM shows 'no space left on device', persists across new sessions, logout/login, and multiple browser attempts."
What Should Happen?
it should refresh to a new VM and clear disk space. but it's not. I cant do anything.
Error Messages/Logs
Cowork VM — Persistent Disk Full Error
Error message: ENOSPC: no space left on device
Affected path: /sessions/funny-brave-hamilton/tmp/
Session name: funny-brave-hamilton
Storage device: /dev/nvme1n1 mounted at /sessions (ext4)
What's broken: Bash tool, Write tool — both fail with ENOSPC. Read and Glob tools still work. The workspace folder (ablaze v2) is empty, so the space is being consumed in the VM's internal filesystem.
Steps already taken to resolve: Closed and reopened Cowork multiple times. Started multiple new conversations. Neither clears the issue. The disk is full on every new session.
Expected behavior: Each new Cowork session / conversation should start with a clean VM with available disk space.
Platform: Cowork (desktop app), macOS

Steps to Reproduce
its not letting me clear, find a new vm, clear cache or disk space or anything
