I built the maths software Sage from source onto my Ubuntu server. It now takes up 4.1GB of space in my /opt.

I am near the limit of my partition size and was wondering if anyone knew what I can remove to free up space without breaking the program.

Note, the first level of the sage directory tree is:

bin    c_lib  ext               fpickle_setup.pyc  Makefile     module_list.py   sage
build  doc    fpickle_setup.py  mac-app            MANIFEST.in  module_list.pyc  setup.py

  • you just want to compress sage or want to free your drive space?

  • Free the drive space, so delete anything that is unnecessary to running it.

  • Its more I want to know what in the sage directory I can delete that won't break it i.e. the uncompiled source code.
