[Thinkpad] Re: A21e abrupt 20% increase in "System Files"

Hello,

Have you tried installing a disk space analysis/visualization/management
program to see if it can tell you which directory or directories are

Also, have you tried setting the virtual memory swap file to a fixed size,
say 1.5 times that of physical memory?

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
