Then i delete all i have in home partitions folders (video , music , downloads, documents) and now i see (with GParted) from 46G my /home parition i have 10G free and 36G still use

36G use  space and i dont know what it is...

Hmm...

What's the output from:

Code: [Select]

sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /home

[dimzev]

40G   /home

I think must delete /home/dimint but don't give me this option...

[murraymint]

You'd better check what's in that 30GB folder first. Could be something important there...

[PCNetSpec]

Why have you got those extra home folders anyway ?

are they secondary accounts that you've set up for some reason ?

Are you the only user of this PC ?

I take it 'dimzev' is the primary account on this PC and has admin privileges ?

What's the output from:

Code: [Select]

groups dimzev

and

Code: [Select]

groups dimpeper

and

Code: [Select]

groups dim2

and

Code: [Select]

groups dimint

and finally is this home partition one you've reused from other distros/versions .. ie. are the other homefolder subdirectories old leftovers ?

[dimzev]

dont wory nothing important there ...i can copy any file there if i want...
before install pepermint i have mint . Then i download linux OS iso  for this old laptop for test it .
Finaally i choose pepermint because is very lighwate and pretty.
I have secont account because the laptop use it from my children many times.
i have passwords from all users and admin privilages ..
i think when install pepermint dont tick format option for /home partition...
thats is the story..
Please  help me delete dim2 and dimint other way must re-install pepermint with formating partitions.
i am not hacker or something illegal...   
Thank you for your attention your help and your patience !!!

Yep that'll get rid of the 2 home folders (and contents) that don't belong to an active account.

If you wanna get rid of the 'dimpeper' account you're going to have to delete the account first in
Menu > Settings > Users and Groups

But be sure to check there's nothing in those folders you want to keep first.

[dimzev]

Thank you very much for your help!!!
all it's perfect now

i like very much pepermint !!!
