Just got my pi5 working using some Chromebook charger (I’m going to switch later) and I already booted it up, and I noticed in the files, a couple things
1. Amazon basic 512 is only displaying 469 total storage I’m not sure if that’s a me error or if the rest is being used for systems and isn’t shown
Amazon Basic what? 512 what? On the Pi or on some other device?
Usual causes are one or more of:
- Having two partitions.
- manufacturers/vendors using units that are powers of 10 and Linux using units that are powers of 2 (1 KB = 1000 bytes or 1,024 bytes depending)
- Bad sectors/blocks on the drive.
2. The surplus of files, I bet they are important, but I’m not sure whether to free up that space
3. Loads of folders along with the files and was wondering if there is a list of the full name of said folders
Can't really answer those as they're more than a little vague. If you're asking about RPiOS and Linux in general anything outside of /tmp and your home directory should be treated as system files. Arbitarily deleting them will likely break things. If you really want a list of all files and directories on the system the following command will generate one but be warned there will tens or hundreds of thousands of them:
Code:
sudo ls -aR1 /[/quote]
No idea but I imagine google does.
