+  <p>Low disk space can result in many issues. from not having enough space for new files to processes 
acting slower or crashing. To check your disk usage using <gui>System Monitor</gui>:</p>

+    <item><p>The columns <gui>Total</gui>, <gui>Free</gui>, <gui>Available</gui>, and <gui>Used</gui> show 
the respective amounts of memory for each device.</p></item>
   </steps>
 
+   <p>If you find that the amount of available disk space for a device is low, there are several ways to 
increase available space.
+One way to check disk usage is to use the <app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> program, which you can open via 
<guiseq><gui>Activities</gui><gui>Applications</gui><gui>Disk Usage Analyzer</gui></guiseq>. The <gui>Scan 
Home</gui> button will give you a breakdown of how disk space is distributed. From here you can identify 
large files that may be candidates for removal. </p>
+
+<p>Another way to clear up disk space is to remove temporary files. These will automatically be deleted on 
reboot. If you are having disk space issues and haven't rebooted your computer lately, this may clear up some 
space.</p>
+
+<note><p>One more technique is to clear package files which are not being used. Look at the documentation 
for your distribution for instructions on how to do this.
