Also, my laptop is suppose to have 1TB of storage space, so I expected a total size of at least 950 GiB. What took up almost 90 GiB of space?
Sorry if these are basic questions, but I just cannot seem to wrap my head around this.
On a side note, what are those errors I am getting? If such files or directories do not exist, how does 'du -sh *' even know that its suppose to search for them? What kind of wtichcraft is this? If it doesn't exist in the first place, how do you even know about it?
