Newbie here - I just noticed something in my "Total Disk Usage" tab:

- Used by BOINC: 925.97 MB
- Free, available to BOINC: 244.14 GB
- Used by Other Programs: 187.78 GB

How is it possible that I am using 187.78 GB if BONIC is the only thing running on this pc? This is a BOINC dedicated pc. Other than Skype, it has no other purpose and only the minimal updated applied.

Is BOINC hiding data on my hdd and not recognizing it? I doubt it is doing so but that is the only answer my (limited experience) can comprehend.

My system:
- 64 bit Kubuntu 14.04
- root partition is about 440 GB total
- home partition is about 25 GB total

What could be taking up 187 GB of space? At most, I suspect my OS is 10 GB uncompressed.

Is there some way I can learn what is taking up that space? It wasn't always like that.

Thank you.

Look in 'sudo top' or similar to verify there's really nothing else running for BOINC is just not.

Also there's ways to make out big files on ()Ubuntu, google offering: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36111/whats-a-command-line-way-to-find-large-files-directories-to-remove-and-free-up

Good luck
