in mean time of 'shortly', under each user, there is a '.thumbnails' which
contains 'large' and 'normal' directories. these to directories hold copies
of graphic files viewed. clean them for all users.

also, under what ever browser they use may be a 'cache' directory. clean them.

these 3 places will build and use a lot of space that can be reclaimed.

also, as root, you can run 'find /home -name "*~" -print' to find old backup
files that can be deleted. or run 'find /home -name "*~" -exec rm -f '{}' \;'
to automate removal.

see 'man find'.

i do not believe it will be readily accessible thru control panel. more like
something that would be hard coded.
