Thread: no disk space after upgrade to 12.04

hello,

@ wits' end. have harddrive that's ~500g. has been plenty before, , other day upgraded 11.10 12.04, after point started filling very, quickly.

first cleared out old log files, , sorted few hours. today realised cupsd spitting out lot of errors, removed logs , fixed issue. yet, continues complain there no harddisk space.

have removed several files, , have emptied both root trash , normal trash (i'm user on computer).

according disk usage analyzer usage 486.9 gb/495.4 gb (which still should leave 8.5gb available, , yet can't save textfile that's @ few kb!). scanning filesystem folder / uses 26 gb, /home largest @ 17.6gb (i have lot of crap =), , user @ 5.4gb , var/lib @ 2gb.

can me figure out diskspace going, or if should expect new harddrive going crash day?

i'm not sure if might help, looking @ deja dup's settings (this vaguely based off of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1122670 ) notice apparently backed yesterday, folder supposed save in (/home/melindrea/backup) in fact not exist. cannot turn off automatic backups, not react when try toggle on/off button.

mystify me, rebooted, , have 406g free, means plee lot less urgent, though love if can me figure out why fills way, and/or didn't recognize change in free space.
