  • Where to check wheres everything installed?
    You’ll need to boot into Desktop Mode to drill deeper regarding what’s installed on your SD card or internal storage. In Desktop Mode, you can navigate around using the built-in file explorer, Dolphin. You can also download and install Filelight from the Discover app store, if you want more of a visual aid while sifting through your files and directories. Source: 11 months ago
  • This doesn’t seem normal?
    I would open the Discover store in Desktop mode and download Filelight, which will help visualize the used space on your drive. It might help illuminate what’s taking up so much space, pun intended. Source: about 1 year ago
