Lost 70GB of SSD space

[timbuck2]

So? What happened?
Did you resolve the issue?


Please share the knowledge.

Yes, problem solved. I installed the 'ncdu' package which is very nice for showing disk usage.

I used "sudo ncdu -x" to just show usage on my SSD...Top of the list for usage was "/var/spool/cups" which had over a 100GB used.

Deleted all the spool files from within "ncdu" with the 'd' key and now have gained my 100+GB back.

But I have no idea why the spool files were not automatically cleared out...anyone know why?
