11 GB partition  shows archives as empty. The archives in the 23 GB partiion
is full of  files. Can I delete the Linux Headers Generic and Linux 
Image Generic? They   go back
to 4.2.0.32.35. What is the kernal we are in now? Why do I have two root 
systems? The sdb5 on my other hard
drive (which I am sending now because of the 40KB limit.) has the root 
system that has the empty archives. I
will run the clean and wait for your reply on the old kernels. Than you 
very much.
