hi experts:
I'm recently running out of disk and , it looks simply the /usr/share
occupies around 5G .
[ping@ping-new-laptop usr]$ du -sh ./share/
4.4G ./share/
I'm thinking to remove this directory to release some space. but not sure if
this will affect the whole cygwin from running properly.
or, if I can remove part of the contents, what is the minimum packages that
I need to keep there?
Mine is less than .5G so you apparently have allot more packages installed
than I do (or you have one/some that generate allot more info in there).
I'd recommend removing packages you're not using before trying to clean
out any corresponding directories. Doing a "du -sh ./share/*" should
give you a good overview of which directories contain the most stuff and
help you target which packages you may consider removing.
