I wonder if updating my system as suggested by the update manager consumes extra space?
Because even after installing all software I would like to use, I had about 10 GB free space. Now, without my knowledge, I have only 6GB free space.
Do I need to keep clearing temp folder contents like we do in Windows? If I need to delete, how do I do so? Any suggestions?
When you have done update , the cache files will stay remain here.you need to clear them.
from Terminal with CTRL+ALT+T you can clean it with
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
If you love the GUI then there is a evergreen application named bleachbit
you can install it with sudo apt-get install bleachbit .
you can clear more space by clearing the old kernels which you can do it easily from the Synaptic package manager.
There remove the old kernels , not the current one. For better purpose stay with two old recent kernels and clear remaining all of them.That can give you more free space.
Hope that helps.
