/var/backup unreadable and huge
Asked by
Stephen Toney
I installed Sbackup and let it backup automatically. It ate up about 10GB a day. I've uninstalled it, but now can't reclaim the space. /var/backup is marked "unreadable" and I can't get into it to delete whatever files may be there. I've tried both the Gnome File Browser and "sudo cd /var/backup" from the Terminal. No info on this found by Googling. (Actually I won't know until tomorrow whether Sbackup was the culprit, but I still need to get into that directory.) Many thanks in advance for any newbie help!
