Re: [ccp4bb] Clean Ubuntu system disk

I like to pipe the `du` output straight into a `sort` command. That way 
the biggest directories appear at the end.


cd /
sudo du -sk * |sort -n

That is for directories. If you are looking for the largest files, you 
can try something like this:

ls -lR |sort -nk5

To find which directory is using the space disk, you can go to the 
root directory, and use the  'du' tool as root user (or with sudo).


cd /

sudo du -hs * 2> /dev/null


Wait a bit, and every single directory will appear with his size. If 
you see an unexpected big size for a specific directory, cd into this 
one, and re-do the  'du' command until you find the guilty files.



You can as well use a graphical tool like Baobab. (I really like this 
one.)



Best,

Dear CCP4BB,

I installed CCP4 in Ubuntu 14.10. After I run several rounds of CCP4, 
I found my disk is nearly full. Only 400Mb space left. I guess I often 
kill the job that temporary files left in my disk. Could one BB tell 
me how to remove the temporary files?


Best regards,

Jiyong
