How free up disk space

[harishbayyavarapu]

Hi,

I have fedora 12 on my laptop. I want to free up disk space. I installed fedora from a live cd and after some installations I have very less disk space left out. How to clear unwanted downloads that were downloaded during the update.

[harish@localhost iso]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 18G 12G 6.1G 65% /
tmpfs 2.0G 21M 2.0G 2% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb 3.7G 4.0K 3.7G 1% /media/New Volume
/dev/loop0 675M 675M 0 100% /mnt/iso


Thanks

Execute this

su -c 'yum clean all'

I tried that command and it says

[root@localhost iso]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Cleaning up Everything
0 delta-package files removed, by presto

You don't have separate /home partitions. Check size of /home folder.

The size of home folder is 6.1G.
