E.g. if you have thunderbird - all your mails go into the .mozilla-thunderbird directory. if you have shotwell or Virtualbox or any such, the virtual machines by default are put in the .virtualbox directory. Even firefox's extensions go in here. I am not sure how you checked your ~/ disk usage. Did you do a df -h ? </blockquote></div> No mails. All dor files together was 150MB incl firefox cache and profile. It still doesn't add up. -- Regards Narendra Diwate
