The storage figure for 'used by ubuntu' in the settings has for a long time now seemed rather high. Is this normal or might there be some tidying up that can be done.

The reason for asking was a feeling that my old E4.5 might be getting a bit tired so I've been thinning out unused apps, clearing caches etc to try and make more free space in the hope it might make things easier for the phone!

IIRC it was a similar figure on a Nexus 5 right after install. What could explain this discrepancy?

Just curious, I don't mind — on my Android phone, the system uses 9.2GB!!! That's one more thing I like about UT.
