I'm trying to download some software (Unity game engine 2017.3). As part of the installation process, I downloaded the installation assistant, but when I try to download the actual package, the assistant says that I'm short on space, by about 50MB. When I close and reopen the assistant, the free space figure can change, even if I haven't done anything. I've tried removing useless applications and deleting old files, but that seems to have no effect on the free space figure. I've posted this question on the Unity forums as well (the game engine, not the interface). I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.04 if it helps.

  • Thanks. I've had a look in those directories, and there are quite a few files there that don't seem to serve a purpose. is there an index for the purposes the files perform?
