I am not an expert on such matters, but I cannot understand what the temp files have to do with my problem. They only occupy a very small fraction of the root, a few MB in 20 GB. Also, the logs seem not to be the source of trouble. sudo du -h /var/log root's password: 88K /var/log/ConsoleKit 4.0K /var/log/krb5 54M /var/log/journal/41ef233e76e7528b304b79b700000697 54M /var/log/journal 4.0K /var/log/samba 4.0K /var/log/hp 15M /var/log/YaST2 1.4M /var/log/zypp 4.0K /var/log/news 1.6M /var/log/cups 102M /var/log It seems that the safest thing to do is to uninstall the older version of Mathematica. If I do this, I will recover 3 GB. That helps, but unfortunately, that is not much, and I would like to preserve the old version... Probably the best thing to do would be to set a larger partition for root when I installed opensuse. Is there a safe and easy way to enlarge the root partition?
