[LUG] creating space

 

Hello

I have a warning message telling me I have low disc space left in "Filesystem root" (1.45MB of 7.45GiB). Some time ago I uninstalled a few programmes but did not remove them completely. Does this leave them taking up space?
I seem to remember one of them was epiphany yet I still have 
epiphany-data there. In synaptic, it tells me under installed (auto 
removable) there are several including epiphany-data. But it also 
includes kde-data and I cannot see me having to uninstall this.
Is there a way to completely uninstall these "orphaned" programmes 
without naming them?
Otherwise, I have 2 partitions with a reserve install of Ubuntu 8.04 
which I could use to absorb some of the folders or extend / to another 
partition. But which one and how?
usr has 4.4GB with 380,000+ items, lib has just under 1GB, var has 
2/3GB, sys has 621MB.
I could uninstall some programmes I don't use like abiword and gnumeric 
and amarok so should I "completely remove" them or might this lose some 
shared dependencies?
/home has 27.94GiB (3.36 used); the other 2 (Ubuntu 8.04) have 7.45GiB 
and 28.6GiB.
Thanks

James
