You could also:
du -k
to find directories that use lots of space (maybe many small files, like
a browser temp directory). Unfortunately there are _lots_ of
directories. You might:
du -k | sort -n
to put these in ascending order, and work on the last couple of
screenfuls from that.
To look for large files the command is like:
find / -size 10M
and work down in size.
You ought to prefix these commands with "sudo" to give you rights to
access all directories.
Delete with caution!
