I assume you mean "Available disk space". It is the amount of disk
space unused on your system, so it will decrease if you put more files
into the disk. Even something as trivial as web browsing can add to
this disk space even if you don't actually download and save anything
to your disk. The space will increase if you delete files from your
disk.
