I use xubuntu(Focal Fossa). My root space had reached around 99% around the end of December. I use Anaconda, and an environment for using gravitational wave related packages, and also miktex console and texmaker. Since I wanted to reduce root space, I removed zoom and R base core, and purged stellarium. . Anaconda and others seem to be mounted in /home. Anyway I used autoclean and some var related command and ended up having space available up to 97%, which was fine for the moment.
I also downloaded bleachbit, and had my computer cleaned except for passwords, localization, and memory sectors( didn't do bash and deep clean). After it was done I think a large chunk of my /home partition was gone, mostly due to deleting trash, I think, but I think the root was still 97% available.
I had resized root before to make it 24 GB appx. from 12 GB. Now it was around 23 GB(97%) .I had procrastinated resizing it until today. I don't clearly recall what I saw a week ago, when I opened my laptop again, but I think it was still 97% used(that's the impression I have had until now). And when I finally decided to resize it today, I see that root size has reduced to 57 %(used), and home to 35% (it was around 76% before or more (due to trash)).
I have done nothing but rearranged the folders in my desktop and deleted a few document files, and one video the past week. It looks cleaner that's it.
So what happened to all that root space? Was it bleachbit? Can I see what files bleach bit deleted in root partition to make that much space available?
