Subject: too much data on disk~ 'x' won't start


There is so much data on my disk that when I sstarted Linux this morning 'x' wouldn't start. The precursor to this was last night I did 'rm /mnt/hda5/*' (my music drive). I thought that maybe it was that the trash bin was needed to be emptied, but I found that to be not full except for one small file (I had emptied it last night). So I thought maybe it was somewhere else on the drive and did 'find / S*' (most of my music starts with an S as in Styx and Stevie Nicks and Swing) but after that long search that proved to be fruitless. So where could all that extra data be that are filling my disk be?

Wait a second. I 'su root' so that means that it is in roots trash bin. I think that is right. Let me know if I am not.
