In my case the Linux Partition was 28 GB. Out of this 5.5 GB was the tracker cache on his account. I believe I had disabled the tracker on mine when I installed the OS, so mine was about 80 MB. Still, if the tracker took 5.5 GB in 5 days, how about in 1 month? BTW: the OS is Ubuntu 7.10 all up

You are not so bad. Today I discovered the tracker folder on my brother's account to be 5.5 GB! He only used my laptop for 5 days, watching movies, internet, chat, and he started complaining about Linux becoming sluggish. I don't know what those caches are, but to get 5.5 GB in 5 days (from creati

Hi, I am assigning this bug to tracker. As a workaround you can tell tracker not to index some things in your home directory, for instance the virtual machine files. You can also disable the indexing altogether. Thanks, James ** Changed in: tracker (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => tracker
