Re: [SLE] Disk full

Have fixed the problem for now but still wonder why I had to maually
remove the files with the rm command and rm -r for folders.
Is it possible that the files are still there cause of some
setting.....running GNOME.
Note that the trash that is on my desktop was empty and still there
was around 8GB of files in thoose folders.
