How can I free up disk space in my Ubuntu Hardy Heron install?
- by rvs
I'd like to make some room on /dev/sda1 without necessarily having to remove a whole bunch of applications (I've already gone through and deleted all frivolous apps).
This is the state of /dev/sda1 currently:
Dir: /
Type: ext3
Total: 9.4GiB
Free: 488.6MiB
Available: 0bytes
Used: 8.9GiB
EDIT added du output from comments below:
769068 /var/lib/mysql
351208 /usr/lib
297060 /usr/local/bin/eclipse/plugins
184124 /usr/bin
175924 /usr/lib/openoffice/program
143940 /usr/local/bin/eclipsePHP/plugins
92520 /boot
81200 /opt/android-sdk-linux/add-ons/google_apis-6_r01/images
79964 /opt
That's funny, because the tables in /var/lib/mysql are the reason that I ran out in the first place. But I need them, and room for many more possibly large db's.
