Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA).

http://www.exim.org/

Delete it and you may end up deleting emails and history, at least locally.

if you don't run a mail server i'd say the system is trying to tell you something very urgently.
in other words, these could be error messages. you should look at them (they're probably plain text files).

Don't use [quote] tags, use [code] tags to retain layout readability. Run this
Code:
sudo du / -xh | sort -hr | head -n 20

Historically yes - printer or mail.
You need to concentrate on the big stuff at the top of the list. The "dot" in .git makes it all hidden by default, which is why you missed it.

I couldnt access the folder whitout the root account is that something that makes it systemrelated (removing it will make the system to stop working?)

Can you remember installing git or anything git-related?

Try this:

Code:
ls -la /etc/.git
so that we can see if anything in the .git directory itself gives us a clue as to what all these files are.

.git in /etc could be etckeeper, but it's still a huge size

did you try to inspect /etc with a git client?

op's description looks a lot like a standard .git directory inside any git repo.
does etckeeper make a git repository out of /etc?
that would explain why it's there. or op accidenatlly ran 'git init' inside /etc. as root.

i can't imagine why would just git init produce a .git directory with a size of 7 GB

^ well i just checked my git repos on my machine, the .git directory is often about twice as large as the actual repo.
I guess it has something to do with its age and how many commits were made.
particularly the difference between size on disk and actual file size is orders of magnitude larger.

would be interesting to know how large op's /etc is in total.
and at the root of a .git directory are some plain text files that should give clarity about what's going on.

he has that info above:

Quote:
6.9G /etc
6.8G /etc/.git
this makes perfect sense, /etc is mostly tiny config files

that giant .git is definitely the offender there
