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?
tia,
Rob.
Rob, In kde, run 'kdirstat' and then choose the directory you want to investigate (you can choose an entire partition). kdirstat will then scan the directory tree and give you a prioritized summary of where your disk space has gone. It will take a minute or two to complete the scan. Another great utility is 'filelight' It does basically the same thing, but presents the data in a pie chart format. kdirstat is tabular. Both will do what you want. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
