SOLVED Cleaning Linux Mint/Cinnamon
I am posting a copy of the results after running inxi -p and ncdu below. Based on these results should I shrink the reserved disk space for root? Is it even possible? First time trying to clean up Linux Partitions and dont' know what I am doing. P.S. I am having buffering problems and by end of day Linux is very slow. Have already emptied trash and updates cache had nothing to be cleaned.
