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!
The issue is HOW did you calculate that space? You seem to be using a GUI and I can't imagine my trying that exercise without using the command line. Tools like "du", and "find" can walk your file tree and identify ALL files. You could, for example, run 'find' to look for files greater than a minimum size. But before doing that I want to know if your calculations took into account the hidden files and directories: ~> du -sb .[a-z]* | sort -rn 645692104 .mozilla 612446498 .thunderbird 371059017 .kde4 362403063 .recoll 202496201 .local 134443051 .googleearth 102454517 .kde 76852935 .cache 71424414 .thumbnails 59711370 .ooo3 46967273 .webex 35418713 .fonts 23450549 .config 20822205 .gnupg 17082049 .e16 13023440 .adobe 12525824 .java ....
