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.

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.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
