In your case ~/.xsession-errors is a file that X uses to log errors, so if you were running a GUI that file probably will not get deleted until X restarts._______________________________________________On Sun, Jul 29, 2018 at 4:25 PM Richard Klein <rich@richardklein.org> wrote:I found today that my Home folder is full. The culprit seems to have been a roughly 1/2 terabyte .xsession-errors file. I deleted it, but 'emptying the trash' didn't seem to be clearing any space. I found that everything I'd thought I'd deleted recently seemed to still be sitting in $uname/.local/share/Trash. I selected everything in that folder and typed shift+delete. Now nothing shows in the Trash folder, but my Home folder is still full. I rebooted, and that's still the case.
