i recently tasked ImageMagick with resizing a bunch of Jpegs. it didn't complete in time so i shutdown the X Terminal window and did other stuff. since then i have been getting errors from Mail because my interal memory is full even though File Manager can't identify why. the Storage Details--Data page does not add up to the Common page by a long way. like 100mb is lost.

so i have assumed ImageMagick has created a big temp file somewhere and i need do delete it by hand. does anyone know what to do?

using the xterm, look in /tmp or /home/user. I am assuming you ran imagemagick as regular user and not as root. There aren't a lot of places the regular user can write to... (One of the reasons why not running things as root is A Good Thing (tm))

i've looked through both those places and not seen anything that stands out. Is it considered safe to blow away all of /tmp? without a computer here, or the USB cable, I can't afford to brick this device, but right now I can't even add one measly 3mb image to an email

Should tell you which file/dir is how big.
