Which folder in linux can be safetly delete to save disk space.
Hello everybody.
For months ago, when I installed FC4, I have used 7 out of 10 GB But now, I have only 500MB left. I don't know how it could be so fast. All of my data is put on another partition. I put all of linux folder include / in a single partition. I don't know what cause that problem, I have crossover intalled but I cost only 400MB (and it is the largest software in my box). The /home dir is 28MB What else can cost me that amount of this space? |
Make sure that your logs in /var are being rotated correctly.
Make sure that the temporary files are being deleted. I think it is either done on shutdown or powerup. --Ian |
Check your error logs /var/log directory to see if errors have accumulated in the files and are eating up disk space.
Once my .xsession-errors file in my home directory grew so big that it ate up several Gigabytes. Just search for all hidden files as well as log files. Edit: Oops too late, too slow to type this :) |
I will check tonight but by the way
Can slocate search for file using size rather than name |
if your using a package manager, delete its cache as it stores every package
|
heema:
rpm means redhat package manager, so where can I find its cache. |

These two commands can be useful for tracking down where all your space went...
df -h du -sh /[!d,p]* May help you close in on where the space is being used. |
I'm using xdu for that.
