Exclamation /proc

/proc is filing up my root filesystem. Can you delete any of the4 ID numbers out of /proc. Please help me.

It is highly unlikely that /proc is "filling up" your root directory.

When we do this:

Code:
du -s /proc
the value we get back is 0.

/proc is not a real filesystem, in the disk sense...

Can you identify any large files in there?
Depending on your Unix version, you may have some large ones named something like "kcore" or "kmem" - you can ignore those.

and you certainly don't want to delete kmem or kcore that would be like deleting your brains, right LivinFree?
