How do I clear up my hard drive?
How do I free up hard drive space, when i first installed Linux 8 I was using Windows Vista. My hard drive was full to begin with and I do not know how to clear hard drive space using Linux 8. I've been trying to figure it out how to clear it out and it's frustrating me!!!

Re: How do I clear up my hard drive?
Are you wanting to clear hard drive space by deleting LM8 and returning to Vista only? If so, boot into a liveCD, open GParted and delete the linux partitions. You will then need to repair your Vista Boot manager. Here are some instructions and links. Read it before taking any action.

Re: How do I clear up my hard drive?
Hi,
If you want to see what file / directory is taking up a lot of space, you can install:
1. LinuxMint - search for gdmap in Synaptic
2. Windows - Download WinDirStat
for both, you need to
- install & run it
- then delete the files that's too big, manually ...
NOTE : Be _very_ careful with what you delete, if not sure then google first
