Re: Memory problem. What are these files?

"df" Number on left side with directory is not about size. Size is counted by "du -s /home/user/.cache/telepathy"

or for all dirs in .cache

Code:

~ $ cd .cache

~/.cache $ for dir in `find \. -maxdepth 1 -type d -print` ; do du -s ${dir} ; done

du: can't open './tracker': Permission denied

Re: Memory problem. What are these files?

You can lack block space (KB) or inodes (file handles). To check inodes, only "df -i" works.

/home/MyDocs will always show "0" because it's FAT32, but if the other partitions reach 0 inodes available all kinds of strange problems will happen - RSS feeds will get corrupted, mails will not reach you, contacts will be deleted, the camera won't start, etc.

"df" works on a partition level.

"du" works on directory level. "du -s" checks all subfolders of the selected folder.
