Cleaning Directory

Cleaning your directory


As you use your Linux account over the years, your directory might get bigger. Your disk quota is set about 40 MB. When you reach the quota, you cannot save your file any more. Before you get in this situation, you should clean up your home directory. If you don't need some of your files, just delete them. To delete a file, type the following command.

    rm your_file

If you have a file you are not using currently but want to keep it, compress the file. To compress a file, type:

    gzip your_file

To uncompress the file, type:

    gunzip your_file

If you need more disk space for your class project, please talk to your professor.
