Freeing up space on my Pi?
-
Hi all,
I'm running out of room on my 128GB card and want to try to free up some space without damaging anything (relative noob). Just looking at my files in the pic below I see some VERY big wav files and avi files that are on my sd card. Anyone know if these are necessary, or can they be nuked? Anything else you may see that is unnecessary? I'm only running games/roms on my pie and not using it for anything else. Although I would like to keep Kodi as I may use it in the future.
Thanks!

With generic file names like that, it is hard to tell what they are for. Try copying them to a thumb drive, and playing them on another computer. Should give you a better idea of what they are. Or, play them in Kodi by adding them to you Music and Video libraries.

Great idea! Never thought of that, thanks!

Nuke them? Heh, are you secretively running an underground 0day box lol. You can enable root and connect to the Pi trough your PC via an FTP browser such as FlashFXP, you can immediately browse trough all dirs remove files etc.
