# What does Tuhi do if my disk is full right now?

If your disk is short on room right now, Tuhi sends you to **Emergency Space** rather than the routine tidy-up. Emergency Space shows what's using the disk, with the safest options first — clearing files that apps rebuild by themselves before moving anything of yours — and nothing happens until you choose.

When space is merely getting tight, Tuhi suggests a regular **Run Tuhi** tidy-up instead. See [Where your space went](https://storagestudio.us/manual/whats-using-space).
