Hla Hla Htay’s Notes

Today, I make a tar.gz zip files in Linux (Fedora Core 8). The folder size is more than 20GB. It stopped in the middle and took more than 10 mins. So I cancel zipping. My space is stolen and I didn’t see that temp file. I search in the web how to delete those temp files. One suggested Yam clean all. But it didn’t work. So, I search with findcommand. You can use locate command too. Use locate fr-. It will show all those temp files. I think locate fr-will work for fedora only.

find -name ‘*’ -size +10000k Then I found out those hidden tmp files like this ./.fr-JAIG1u/*.tar. When I see with ls -s ./.fr-JAIG1u-*.tar. This show 2245400 ./.fr-JAIG1u/*.tar. I copy and has to remove with rm. If anyone has better software or better way to handle those hidden temp files, I request please leave the comment. Thanks.
