Disc usage after upgrade to 9-04

[evanspre]

Hi,

I've upgraded from 8-10 to 9-04 using the update manager GUI.

After the upgrade my disc usage has increased by about 1.5G.

I presume that the old files have been backed up somewhere?

Can anyone tell me where that might be and whether I can safely remove them?

Thanks.

Although I would have thought Update Manager would have done this when you upgraded you could try running:


sudo apt-get autoremove

to remove unneeded packages and


sudo apt-get clean

to clear your package cache.

I was searching for an answer to a 'partition' question when I came across this query. I noticed that when I installed 9.04 over 8.04 that the 8.04 partition didn't appear to be erased. Access via Grub was wiped but the Linux partition remained in place so that I now have 2 Linux partitions.

I don't want to highjack a thread but your problem may be a similar thing.

I can wipe the 8.04 and expand the 9.04 via GParted but the question is whether this is 'normal' or is this bug of sorts?????????

Thanks 'mk1w86'.

The 'autoremove' did not do much.

It was the 'clean' option that did the trick!

I now have all of my missing space reclaimed.
