I am actually using Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I kept the larger files in a .(dot)folder in administrator directory and my total disk space is filled.
I previously got the information that I have low disk space. Even though the desktop is blank and each and every time when I login in administrator it will give blank desktop it doesn't show any folder or applications.
But I can easily login into guest session, so how can I delete those administrator files to make free space by using guest session or some thing else?
/home/root
directory? Why does somebody keeps there anything at all, and in so big amounts? This is odd.cd /path/to/you/dir
to enter the directory with files, then check if you see them with the commandls
. To remove files userm
. See also why it is bad to login as root. And no, you can't remove files belonging to root through a usual user — what would be the point of having an account with lower privileges if you could?
