Thanks for putting up with my line of inquiry. Here is the output:
The output appears to segregate directories like /home,/usr, /var, /opt etc from /root, are some of these (or all) not infact contained within root. Perhaps I am not understanding this but I had thought that File System, Root and / were all the same thingCode:david@MainSqueeze:~$ sudo du -shx /* | sort -rh [sudo] password for david: du: cannot access `/home/david/.gvfs': Permission denied du: cannot access `/proc/5318/task/5318/fd/3': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/5318/task/5318/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/5318/fd/3': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/5318/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory 8.0G /root 6.5G /home 4.4G /usr 2.1G /var 1.3G /opt 542M /lib 145M /boot 17M /etc 9.3M /sbin 8.9M /bin 4.0M /ubiquity-apt-clone 3.4M /lib32 1.1M /run 116K /gapcmon-0.8.2.tar.bz2 76K /tmp 36K /mnt 20K /media 16K /lost+found 12K /gapcmon.spec 4.0K /srv 4.0K /selinux 4.0K /lib64 4.0K /dev 4.0K /dead.letter 4.0K /cdrom 0 /vmlinuz.old 0 /vmlinuz 0 /sys 0 /proc 0 /initrd.img.old 0 /initrd.img david@MainSqueeze:~$

8G under /root!!!!!!! There is an issue.
On my machines /root has under 50MB - mostly scripts and data used only by root for backups or kernel cleanup stuff.
That /gapcmon*bz2 file in / ... scary.
How often do you use the root account for normal desktop stuff? It can be very dangerous to download files with root.

I may be a little careless downloading and installing 3rd party software. gapcmon*bz2 is used to monitor my UPS, graphically showing power failures and such.
I think I followed the instructions HERE to install it (not sure it was a bookmark I saved)

Almost all temp files should be put into ... er ... /tmp. It is cleaned up with every reboot.
Downloading files while root is asking for trouble ... begging for it really.
I'm still freaked out by the 8G under /root. Never heard of anyone using it that way. root is meant to be used in an extremely limited way, not as the default userid.
"root", /root", /, and "file system" ARE NOT the same thing. There are times when they overlap and "root" is ambiguous.
/ - the root directory
/root - the HOME directory for the root userid; no other userid can view it normally.

Frothy Coffee!
/ and /root are two things different
Could you now do :
sudo du -sh /root/* | sort -rh

The '*' gets expanded by the current userid - before sudo takes effect. I'd do it this way (it looked fine to me before too).
That works here.Code:sudo -s du -sh /root/* | sort -rh

And what return :
sudo ls -l /root/.local/share/Trash/files
