Of course all these files tend to cluster together - for maximum effect
I would be looking to reduce that 7.7G.
Since you posted to debian-laptop, I guess you're using one. I'd
imagine it is pretty normal on most laptops that /home would end up with
all the crap too :-)
Here's mine, for example:
kant:/# du -hs *
2.5M bin
11M boot
4.0K cdrom
124K dev
22M etc
4.0K floppy
29G home
4.0K initrd
20K lan
23M lib
16K lost+found
4.0K mnt
4.0K music
14M opt
4.0K photos
20K plato
3.1G postgres
du: `proc/15126/fd/3': No such file or directory
516M proc
43M root
6.6M sbin
3.0M tmp
32K user
3.5G usr
2.9G var
I've decided it's cheaper to spend money on a bigger HD than to spend
time on removing cruft though.
Now when I go looking for cruft I can look for really big cruft, making
it correspondingly easier to find.
Cheers,
Andrew.
