Hi list,
I have to throw some bites away, but when i look, i cannot find where all space went.. How can i see which files absorb all the space? If i throw something away with shift-del, does it realy dissappear from the disk of does it remain in some obscure unseen recycle bin? If there exists a recycle bin, where does it linger? How do i call upon it, to see if there is something in it?
Assuming you've already emptied your trash in whatever desktop environ you're using.. have you poked your /tmp? That can fill up with debris of failed downloads, extracted files, flash videos you've watched etc.
i cannot find my trashcan :-/ , and my conqueror crashes when i enter trash:/ in the location bar... (no, i did not file a bugreport yet) so...

A cron job runs regularly to clean out this directory, based upon a retention time sysconfig option that can be set in the YaST editor. Additional directories can also be configured.
Kdirstat will give you a nice detailed list of everything on disk, but AFAIK it has not been ported to KDE 4. (You can still install it under KDE 4 but that will also pull in some of the KDE 3 libraries.)
First of all: Thnx for this many responses to my question, it warms my heart.. :-)
My mistake also was not to tell that i have several seperate partitions for "/"(various numbered installs) , /tmp, boot, as also the belonging /homes...ehr..
The problem is only at the /home of my 11.3 install, which is 5GB. I can not figure out what takes this space, as i allready cleaned up the big files like netinstall iso's a.s. I looked at all the other files and added up: from my accounts there should be about 1,5 - 1,8GB spare room, the sys tells me there is only 197MB.... large difference.... That is why i wonder what eats that space!
I had hoped a tool like Kdirstat, or alike would be around, without kde3 libs needed, only to support that app..
sorry if i put you, my helpers, on the wrong foot, and appologise for that... ( i hope you'll still help me.... :-s

Try filelight, it's been ported to kde4 (and I find it easier to use than kdirstat was). Its available in KDE:Extra and openSUSE:Contrib.
Regards Tejas
Thnx for all the answers, i do not want to insult anybody by not answering every mail individualy, i hope you'll all understand, and accept my sincere thnx this way... I'll try filelight... I will post an update when the problem is solved, (or not solved.... ;-) Rob. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)
