Over file quota, Help Please

[Lanky_KTD]

Hey,

My school puts a quota on the number of files one can have which normally wouldn't be a problem, but I've been using komodo edit which creates a ton of temporary files. Now I'm over the quota and can't create any new files or really do anything. I have a few questions that will hopefully help me resolve this problem...

1.) What commands could i use to find the place where these files are being stored (i'm not sure what the file extension is, but maybe a way to look at the number of files in different places would be helpful)

2.) What are the commands to remove all of the files of this type, once i discover what the extension is and the location of the files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1)

ncdu

although I doubt, that ncdu is installed.

But this will work:

du -hs ~/*

Then iterate though the directories

2)

find ~ -type f -iname "<FILENAME>"

Where <FILENAME> identifies what you want to find.

The above command will do no harm, just list the found files.
Once you are sure, that all found files shall be deleted, add "-delete"
