.thunderbird in my home takes up too much space

  • 772

My home directory is nearly completely occupied. 

/dev/sda7        28G   24G  2.1G  93% /home

disk analysis shows the top largest directory is .thunderbird. As shown in the screenshot. Is there any other way to optimize it, or solution for it, so that I can have more space at /home?

  1. You can clean your GMail account to make free space.

    Also if you want "more space" for your /home partition install GParted to manage partitions. Provided there's unallocated space or it can be carved out from other partitions, it's possible to extend /home. 

    sudo apt-get install gparted
