Personal storage warning

[B.K. Johnson]

This is a cross posting from Beginner's Help

When I get the warning that personal storage is getting full.... which file(s) am I urged to delete and where are they? I am using Wary and Lupu but the answer would be of interest to all Puppians. I think.

Invariably, I get the warning because mhwaveedit does not seem to release memory used by recordings even after they have been saved. Then after the warning the system locks up, I cannot save the work in process. I manually remove the mhwaveedit-temp-xxxxx-xxxx-x files from the hidden directory but the warning persists through normal and fsck reboots. I would rather not do pfix=clean, requiring installation of pets. What's the alternative(s)?

I hope you still have a few bytes to spare. Go and get this http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 9b4ffb2d6a and use it to see which folders are full, and delete them. If you really don't have any room to spare, *assuming that you use frugal install on hdd (not thumbdrive)*, open terminal and do this:

Code: Select all

du -sh /initrd/pup_rw/*

and you'll see which folder takes up the most space, and delete them.
Be careful of deleting anything under /lib and /usr.

Please don't post the same question several places in the forum. Thanks.
