Well, doing a df I see that / is the 9.1G partition and the other one is
/home.
Prior to cleaning, the partition was 9.05G full, after doing the cleanup it
is now down to 8.7G.
so I have got to see what all is in it. Or I will have to make it bigger. I
have a boat load of empty
space on the HD so I can shrink home a bit and give it some more space, but
if it is just going
to eat that up with some blackhole files I need to find out what they are
and see what can be
trimmed.
/ is /dev/sda1
/home is /dev/sda5
Here is what df returns
