Re: [Trisquel-users] how do I increase the available space for this part of my harddrive?
Thanks for noticing that for me (I didn't!) Maybe it's from using Audacity to edit and export a long audio file. It's owrrying that it didn't clean itslef up afterward (if that's what it was). I'll keep your sudo apt-get clean command handy for the future; thank you.

I wonder whether this is how Trisquel Mini did it by default? I've used Trisquel Mini until now, have never had this problem, and am thinking about going back to Mini. Thanks for the idea; I'll try and implement it one way (Trisquel Mini default hopefully?) or another

Correct; I had it stated correctly.

The /var directory consumes two thirds of the partition space. Try to clean it first. When there is enough space on the / partition, then you can perform other optimizations.

Or instead of encrypting the home directory encrypt the entire drive. Then you don't need to deal with / and /home being different partitions as they are showing in your screenshot and then potentially running low on space with one while the other might still have gobs and gobs of space left. That requires using the netinstall image which, last I checked, has been broken for about 8 months now. Welcome to Trisquel.

$ sudo apt-get clean Your /var tree is really heavy. What is using so many space there? Moving system unencrypted tree (sda1) to encrypted volume (sda5) is not simple.
