/usr/preserve is where files you were in the midst of editing with vi go
when the the session is abrubtly closed. You should get email about
those when you reboot. If you don't know what they are, then ditch them.

Other than that, run find with the -size option to find very large files.
And check your syslog, and your lp printer logs.

do see a /usr/preserve which is moderately large. What should I do with
/usr/preserve. Is is safe to remove? Where else? Thanks wj.
