You mean the /root dot files you listed? Those /root slash .mozilla, .pulse, .gnome2 and all of those other files? No. Nothing automated. But you can carefully remove them. The only dot files you really need in /root are .profile and .bashrc. Possibly a few others but you could safely remove the others. > Unfortunately, neither claws-mail nor iceweasel is working now. > Both give a message about being unable to start an X-window.

Since you appear to have run out of disk space I would simply restart the upgrade. Basically try these in any order you feel like. Each of them are safe to do and will resume that section of things. I will list them lowest level first and highest level last. dpkg --configure -a apt-get install -f apt-get upgrade Bob
