You can compress using xz compression and save a lot of space. I think this is also handy for making backups. This works nicely for lots of old pictures, and documents you want to have archived, but that you may not use for a while. You can always open up the archive and extract your image/document/whatever if you find you need it. And also... sudo apt-get autoremove removes all the packages that are installed but not needed, though bleachbit may have done this.

Check if the new user has the same issues. If the new user does not have any issue, you can of course simply migrate your configurations to that account. And also it will mean there is some sort of issue. Moving the .cache wouldn't hurt. As long as you move it (instead of remove). You can always copy it back again. If you create a new user you can systematically go through all your . (dot) files and find the problem if you are really interested in discovering the actual issue. Then you can diff the two files and find out what is the issue. But of course simply having a working user (other than guest) would be the goal :) -- Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My hard-drive space is very limited so to be able to keep it uncluttered would be a bonus! I did read an article on the net some time back, but thought it best to check with the Lubuntu tech team.[?] Thanks in advance, Steven Duckworth South Africa -- [image: web button 125x50.png] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
