Hi Will Strangely enough I've just addressed exactly this issue in another post - look at the thread on "storage occupancy on qubes os" for one approach to take. It's not hard to do and you should be able to adapt that to your circumstances quite easily: if not, post your problem, and we'll try to help. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
