-      <p>One of the partitioned part in our disk that has a lot of movements, is the home folder. 
-      Most of the Linux beginners do not realize that the documents are saving by default there. 
-      This is because basic configuration set our user and others in Home folder, and User folder contains 
-      <gui>Desktop</gui>, <gui>Documents</gui>, <gui>Download</gui>, <gui>Pictures</gui>, <gui>Music</gui> 
-      and <gui>Videos</gui>. So, probably this is the first folder we know is getting full in our disk.</p>
 
-      <p>To scan Home folder:</p>
-	<list>
-		<item><p>Select from the menu, <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui>
-	            <gui>Scan Home</gui></guiseq>.</p></item>
-		<item><p>Click <gui>Scan Home</gui></p>
-		      <p>Choose the first button that has the form of Home folder icon</p>
-	              <p>There is a home icon, as a first button on the menu.</p></item>
-		<item><p>Press <key>CTRL</key> + <key>S</key>.</p></item>

-	<p>As soon as you get the results, you can decide which applications could be uninstalled, 
-	or which folders can be <link href="help:gnome-help/files-delete">deleted</link> or 
-	<link href="help:gnome-help/files-copy">moved</link>.</p>
+  <p>The <file>Home</file> folder is where most files are located for the
+  average user because default settings are often set to save or copy files
+  into subdirectories within it. This includes downloads from the internet,
+  documents which you work on and photos from your camera. Normally, a
+  <file>Home</file> folder exists for each user on the computer.</p>
+  
+  <note style="advanced">
+    <p>The default subdirectories are usually include <file>Desktop</file>,
+    <file>Documents</file>, <file>Downloads</file>, <file>Pictures</file> and
+    <file>Music</file>, among others: these are called <em>XDK user dirs</em>.
+    Some of these will already exist when GNOME is installed, others will be
+    created by applications as and when they are needed.</p>

-	<p>If you organized folders or delete them, and still don't have any space in your <gui>Home folder</gui>, 
-	you can do a <link href="help:gnome-help/backup-how">backup</link> of your information. 
-	If you need another disk, you have to ask a specialist to do that.</p>
+  <p>To scan your <file>Home</file> folder:</p>
+  <list>
+    <item><p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui> <gui>Scan Home
+    Folder</gui></guiseq> from the menu</p></item>
+    <item><p>Click <gui>Scan Home</gui> in the toolbar</p></item>
+    <item><p>Press <keyseq><key>CTRL</key><key>S</key></keyseq></p></item>
+  </list>
 
+  <p>The results may be useful in deciding which applications to uninstall, or
+  which folders can be
+  <link href="help:gnome-help/files-delete">deleted</link> or
+  <link href="help:gnome-help/files-copy">moved</link>, to free up space on the
+  hard disk. You can also use them to estimate how much space would be needed
+  for a <link href="help:gnome-help/backup-how">backup</link> of your
+  <file>Home</file> directory.</p>
