As of mid-day Saturday, Oct. 26, here is what '/' filesystem space use
looks like on this work station:
===============

Question 1:
/var/cache/system-upgrade/updates/packages/ takes up 1.6G and appears to
be full of rpm's (1083 of them), each dated 2015 (various months). I do
not know the fine details of dnf and rpm. Can I safely delete them, or
might that break future patching and upgrading, and other dnf/rmp commands?
Question 2:
/var/log/ has 193 files that are not sub-directories, and are not stored
in sub-directories. 134 are from prior years. Curious: all 134 are from
2016 or earlier; this directory has no files from 2017 or 2018. The
files called "messages-[date]" are huge: each over 10M. Can I delete
files older than this year safely, or are they needed for something?
Question 3:
/var/log/rkhunter/ has 184 files, most are from prior years. Am I
correct in assuming that I can delete the files from prior years?
Question 4:
Is there already available some automated deletion of /var/log/ logs
(and its sub-directories other than "journal")?
Question 5:
Are there any other parts of the '/' filesystem that I should clean out
and are worth the trouble?
thanks,
Bill.
