Fall of free space from freememapplet

#1 Post by slapshot »

Hi all,

it's happening a weird thing. I'm doing the usually things with my Puppy210 but free space of my personal storage files is decreasing of 100 or 200 Mb at time without any particular operations.

What can I check to control it ?

Thanks.
Bye

you can run Gdmap (Start Menu, File Managers) to see what are the largest files in /initrd/pup_rw (assuming you are using a pup_save file)

or you can see how much space each directory in the pup_save file is using by typing:

du /initrd/pup_rw | sort -n

one place that might be taking up space is the Cache dirs in /root/.mozilla ... sometime you need to delete files in the Caches manually
