Message-ID: Hi, My / partition is 99% full. It's probably the journal. I can't sit here for hours deleting these things individually. Also, I've downloaded most of a recent update but it can't be installed because there's no room on the device. So, I guess I need help figuring out three things: 1) where can i find (at the command line) and delete the downloaded update file? 2) how can i clean out the journal in one go? 3) what else can I safely delete in order to have room to update the machine to the latest version? Thanks in advance for any advice.
