[solved]two Mint in the same disk?

Post by telegiovi »

Dears, I had to install Mint 21.1 again. It was installed beside the previous Mint 21.1 installation, in order to mantain some files such as email etc. But now I have two Mint on my disk. How can I clean the disk in order to have only one Mint? It is difficult for me to recognize which files are necessary and which are double or too much. Thank for a help

unfortunately I cannot install gparted.

Code: Select all

Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto
Generazione albero delle dipendenze... Fatto
Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto   
È utile eseguire "apt --fix-broken install" per correggere ciò.
I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
 gparted : Dipende: gparted-common (= 1.3.1-1ubuntu1) ma non sta per essere installato
 ttf-mscorefonts-installer : Dipende: update-notifier-common (>= 0.119ubuntu2) ma non sta per essere installato
 update-manager-core : Dipende: ubuntu-advantage-tools ma non sta per essere installato
E: Dipendenze non soddisfatte. Provare "apt --fix-broken install" senza pacchetti (o specificare una soluzione).

GParted comes on the Mint installation ISO. Just start the live mode from your installation ISO & GParted will work.
