Can I Remove Files In /var/log/journal And /var/cache/abrt-di/usr?

Answer : journal logs Yes you can delete everything inside of /var/log/journal/* but do not delete the directory itself. You can also query journalctl to find out how much disk space it's consuming: $ journalctl --disk-usage Journals take up 3.8G on disk. You can control the size of this directory using this parameter in your /etc/systemd/journald.conf : SystemMaxUse=50M You can force a log rotation: $ sudo systemctl kill --kill-who=main --signal=SIGUSR2 systemd-journald.service NOTE: You might need to restart the logging service to force a log rotation, if the above signaling method does not do it. You can restart the service like so: $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald.service abrt logs These files too under /var/cache/abrt-di/* can be deleted as well. The size of the log files here is controlled under: $ grep -i size /etc/abrt/abrt.conf # Max size for crash storage [MiB] or 0 for unlimited MaxCrashReportsSize = 1000 You can control the max s...

7z File Manager Crashed And Left Temp Files Behind

Answer : Using the run command: ( WIN + R ) type "%TEMP%" and hit enter. This will bring up all the temp files stored on your PC through the user account you are on. 7-zip tells you the temp location it uses (extract from 7-zip.org/faq.html): 7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target. Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target. And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk. So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then 7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files. Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder. To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.
