I used chown -R user:user . at the top of /root/.cache, /root/.mozilla, and /root/.claws-mail. When I typed mv -iv ./.cache /home/<username>, it refused to do anything because there was already a .cache there. In a reckless mood, I used rm -R and rmdir to get rid of /home/<user>/.cache, and then used mv -iv to move .cache from /root. I did the same with .claws-mail and .mozilla. Some du and df output after these operations is shown below. When I typed apt-get update, it seemed to begin as desired, but quickly stopped with the message > Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn. > PermissionsInvalid: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct I hope there's a simple fix.
