Thread: Very little space remaining on my boot disk (SSD)... Or is it?

-

hey everyone, figured appropriate place ask since i'm still pretty new linux. realize basic question please try refrain making fun of me ok?

anyway, i'm running ubuntu 11.10 , boot disk mushkin chronos 64gb ssd. have traditional hard drive installed file storage. both drives work fine, , i'm impressed how fast boot-up time setup.

1 thing kind of disturbs me though: when first installed ubuntu (on brand new system) 5 days ago, filesystem , home folder showed there 50gb free space remaining. expected much, owing system files , swap partition. since have installed few programs through software centre (nothing big though, things gparted, vlc, nvidia drivers, , couple others). yesterday said had 49 or 50 gb free (which expected), morning shocked learn has 6gb free!

didn't believe @ first, went gparted confirm it, , said same thing. happened? normal?

forgive me if question has been asked before; i'm used mac os x system phenomenon little new me.

advice appreciated!

try running baobab see these files are.

disk usage analyzer or might called - search in dash it, run on file system.

alternatively start terminal

code:
baobab
that said inclined in /var/log in file manager first.

try , think of might have done in between times - backup perhaps gone awry.
