Bug Description
Comparing 3 devices I noticed the following reports for Other files in the About > Storage panel
Recent fresh flash 240 MB
Nexus 4 long term use 2 GB
MX4 mid term use 1.5 GB
(These are wrong see bug #1524424)
--- will add details of which files contribute
The services ubuntu-
upstart prunes to 7 most recent and likely maxes out over time.
52M /var/log
24M /var/log/
(bug #1461444)
4.1M /var/log/
(bug #1447110)
3.9M /var/log/
(see bug #1518955)
2.3M /var/log/upstart
As the devices was made writeable these could be viewed as an exception for developers but still relevant.
105M /var/cache
91M /var/cache/apt
43M /var/cache/
12M /var/cache/apparmor
1.8M /var/cache/debconf
same for
109M /var/lib/apt/lists
109M /var/lib/apt
Need to understand if uninstalled apps count toward other
1.4G /opt/click.
1.4G /opt
264M .local/share
287M .cache
