Do you really need Windows on that machine? Yes, unfortunately. I rarely use it, but every once in a while something really important comes up that requires it.
Do you really need that much Windows space on that machine? Certainly not. I could shrink about 14G off of it and use that as a spare partition.
Do you really need both root partitions? There's a lot that gets put in some root layouts that could be shared, stuff under /usr/share for example that was intended to be shared like the man pages. It really has been nice to have this feature, as I have messed up installations before, and then I had a sudden need to get back on my pc with no time to spare to repair the botched install. So yes, having 2 root partitions is probably very important.
However, what you are suggesting is very intriguing. My share folder is about 4G. Perhaps I could move this to the extra space, if I decide to shrink the windows partition as noted above.
Do you really need all those extra language files? I use a utility called 'bleachbit' to clean up old files and that includes language files I don't need. It can also purge old logs and more. I've cleaned about 500Meg worth, nearly 20,000 files of language and old logs off my system after my last 'update'. I could have cleaned more with more aggressive settings.

I will definitely look into bleachbit. In the meantime, where are all the language files kept? I know I don't need all those language files. English is the only language I need documentation for. Is there a setting that can specify only English, or English and Spanish, so that all those language files can be deleted? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 42.3 | Gnome 3.20 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
