Some quick googling for desktop.ful indicates that these files are
created by something called SBS.  No not that SBS, but rather something
called Simple Backup Suite.  See for example:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1211862.html  I actively
avoid Ubuntu, and this sort of thing is a good example of why.  To
"fix" your space situation I would just do "rm -rf *" at the top level
of this mess, as root of course (be careful not to delete anything
valuable).  But then be sure to figure out how to keep the stupid
program from automatically filling up your disk:

As for assistance with the useful SBS...is it even running?  Doesn't
sound like it is.  Use ps and netstat to check.  If not, then you need
to figure out how to start it and then have it automatically started
with Ubuntu's new upstart setup.  I have no idea there.
