Recently, I had to do an OS reinstall. I keep my home folder encrypted in the event that my laptop were to be stolen, people wouldn't have access to my files.
Using ecryptfs-recover-private, I was able to successfully mount and copy all my files over to a new user profile. However, I was now running low on disk space since I now essentially have a duplicate home folder. How do I remove the old encrypted home folder short of reformatting my /home partition?
I am unable to log in as the old user as the OS reinstall has already occurred. The only way I can read the files is to use the recover-private option.
