          Should be save to delete all of these. Copy them into /tmp if you are worried. Double check as you go, but these all seem to be unneeded.

            Yep, exact issue I had.

            YOU LET BOOT GET FULL. Lol. That's another feature, right @scottalanmiller

              Not to make an excuse - but as someone who doesn't know much and is trying to learn Linux - I am not sure it can be said that I allowed it to happen.

              Therefore - I blame it on the fain.

                Oh I am on your side.

                That was more a jab at @scottalanmiller

                Who will now blame us. 🙂

                  Who deployed old Ubuntu in the first place? What server is this?

                    We took over this install
                    been running for ( x) years - it is for an UnFi controller.

                      "It's been running for..." is another way of stating "it's been unmaintained for..."

                              I not sure what should be removed, but reading father down the article suggests just running sudo apt-get autoremove and this should be fine.

                              Welcome to one of the many unpolished bits of Ubuntu compared to the other enterprise Linux offerings. It needs manual maintenance of updates. It's ridiculous. Yes, the autoremove option is the proper way to handle it.

                              LOL - see it's things like this, or XS's lack of autodetection being on USB and not disabling/moving Log Files like VMWare that just make some of us pull our hair out.

                              Don't get me wrong - Windows 10's desire to constantly change the default viewer for PDFs is currently driving me mad!

                                And that is why Ubuntu is not recommended for newbies to Linux or those not looking for a little more challenge. It's not polished and easy like CentOS is. It's fine, it's a very good system. It's easier than Windows. But it's not comparable to the OSes that would be recommended for someone coming to the Linux world.

                                The real question would be... why are you running Ubuntu if this is seen as a frustration? I realize in this case, Ubiquiti controllers more or less require it and that's a huge pain that they have introduced. But in general, just don't use it.
