[SOLVED] Something is taking up a lot of space

[pivot@pivpoint.no]

I've had some trouble with my xubuntu 7.10 because of low disk space. I've checked my home dir, and thats not what's taking up the space. I've uninstalled a lot of programs too, and actually never had a lot of programs on it in the first place since its basicly a download- and fileserver.

Of couse, trash is empty and all that. Is there some place I should look for temporary files n such that might fill up the drive?

Right now, the OS, including a 5gb home dir takes up 69gb (which is almost 100% of my 10 000 rpm main disk).

I'm happy for any suggestions

In ubuntu you have Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer. You might have that app in xubuntu too.

If you like the terminal though, try

sudo du -h -x --max-depth=1 /

sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean

Please take a look at this.

Tnx guys!
Used some of your suggestions and found some files within /var/backup that took up a lot of storage. Guess Simple Backup is the reason, and it was a man made fault - not a OS fault
