You have to empty the trash manually.

Also, as a laptop it's probably not running the nightly scripts, but those cache files the scripts delete shouldn't get big in such a short amount of time.

How much is it getting smaller and smaller by? Also, get MacJanitor. It is just an app in which you can tell your computer to run scripts to clean it up and make it run smoother. These scripts are usually run at night but not everyone leaves there computer on 24/7, especially there notebook.

Oh god, sweetie, the way you talked about it you were losing oodles of space. That's most likely the paging file.

If you restart the computer the space will be freed. Depending on what you do the paging file can take up to a gig or more sometimes. Mine's currently at a gig.
