Clean up

It is a good practice to look at your files regularly and see what can be deleted, but unfortunately many of us do not have the habit. A major data migration is a good reminder to clean up your files and directories. Moving less data will take less time, and storage space even on new systems is in great demand and should not be wasted.

• If you compile programs and keep source code, delete any intermediate files. One or more of make clean, make realclean, or rm *.o might be appropriate, depending on your makefile.
• If you find any large files named like core.12345 and you don't know that they are, they are probably core dumps and can be deleted.
