Have fixed the problem for now but still wonder why I had to maually remove the files with the rm command and rm -r for folders. Is it possible that the files are still there cause of some setting.....running GNOME. Note that the trash that is on my desktop was empty and still there was around 8GB of files in thoose folders. /Per On 1/26/06, Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> wrote:

There is a command line utility called du(1). The du command will give you a list of files and folders and their respective size. You can use this utility to determine why your disk is full.
Note that there are many other things that can cause disk usage. First, is your /home directory a mounted file system or is it part of the root file system? The df(1) command will list your mounted file systems and tell you what their utilization is. You may find that there may be some log files that are being created and not compressed by the log file rotation.
