I just found an over 200GB "pagemap" that is a file. There is like my bloat and it seems to be stored like it would be on a USB but not. I guess ejection was weird or something. Can I delete it? It is on like my computer. X E.

I don't know what /media/norvel/UbuntuFilesXE/proc/1 is all about. Does it actually exist on the / filesystem.

My request to stop with the maybe, maybe not. I know it is your thing and I would really like it if you just create a signature using it. I think a compromise that would make everyone happy.

Yes it exists on /. I prefer that uncertainty be in like my writing so is "X E" okay? It seems like least annoying I can make this thing. Two letters people can think is a typo if they want. X E.

I am unsure if it helps but before this latest USB mishap with reformatting and now a "pagemap" I overloaded a 2.1TB USB trying to rsync contents of a previous system with no exclude or -x or anything. I after that overload purged "python3" from like my system trying to remove a python swift client. It was still there after purging. Suffice it to say I was at least happy to remove that with reinstalling like my OS. It should not affect much because I made a complete reinstall but I figure I should mention it. X E.

You should be able to delete it.

The X E is ok for now.

To clarify, yes it is on / file system and like my previous system was Ubuntu like like my current system. X E.

Should I back up first just to be safe?

Also, this is path showing with it. "admin:///media/norvel/UbuntuFilesXE/proc/1", Why would it not start with /? X E.

I don't know. post a screenshot.

Screenshot of where I am getting weird path from. I can't screenshot whole screen because it is too large to post barely. X E.

I did navigate there from root(/) though and it seems to be in that file system. X E.

Since everything is attached to the root filesystem including mount points to other drives and filesystems you can not make that assumption. The output of lsblk is a simple way to see if anything is mounted.

That weird administrative root is only inside that weird UbuntuFiles, not out of it so like /media/norvel is part of root(/) and after that, administrative root. X E.

Admin root screenshot. X E.
