I have a hard drive that keeps filling up with data, but I'm unable to figure out what is causing it. I tried moving files, but the system just replaces that data with more useless data. This made it tough for me to install anything on my drive.
As soon as I restart my computer after removing files, the info box says:
Free space: 0 bytes
I've even freed a gig of data on my hard drive but it still goes back to reducing my free space down to zero. I've looked all over the place, but I couldn't find anything useful that I could use to help me. Disks is telling me that File Partition 6 74 GB Ext 4 is completely full. File Partition 6 Ext 4 is my Root and Home partition. Unfortunately I'm unable to send a screen shot of the program because I can't open my web browser at the moment, so I'm using my Windows laptop to report the problem. My current Linux system is Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.
ls -lh /var/log/uvcydnctrl-udev.log
. If the file is there, it's probably huge, and you can safely remove it withsudo rm /var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log
.ls: cannot access '/var/log/uvcydnctrl-udev.log' : No such file or directory
.
