   on /.  Not sure what's taking that up.  Does / signify places like the   
   desktop too as I have a lot of stuff on the desktop?  I tried the apt clean   
   as suggested but no    
   difference and nothing in the trash.   
      
   I use "df" command for a quick review. "df" is Disk Free.   
      
   The "gnome-disks", for mounted volumes, graphically shows how   
   full mounted partitions are, when you click on the partition   
   in the GUI.   
      
   You can expand the partition... if there is room to the right.   
   You can use gparted, with a LiveDVD as the booted OS, to   
   do some disk editing.   
      
   A typical giant waste of space, is if you are a QEMU   
   user and wave around one or two QCOWs for fun :-) Since   
   the QCOW files are hidden in a root-owned location, you   
   have to run your disk-listing programs as root.   
      
   Analysis of disk contents (the slash partition) can   
   be done with one of the dirstat programs, like kdirstat   
   or qdirstat. sudo qdirstat / is an example of a command   
   for this job.   
      
   While this picture is not an entire recipe, I can tell   
   you that when I used gparted to resize and move around   
   the materials for this, it took the whole damned day   
   to do it :-) The partition started at maybe 35GB, but   
   ended up a lot larger.
