- <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>
+ </note>
- <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>
