The size of the Trash Icon is restriced based on the height of the Panel; it can only be so big depending on the height of the Panel. The simplest way to increase the Trash Icon size is just to resize the height of the Panel.

Thank you very much Snowhog.
I don't care about the size of the Trash Icon.
I care about the size left in my computer.
There is 19 GB free in my dustbin and I have no more room in my home.
I would like to have a smaller trash and a bigger home.

Okay. Space issues. To get a clearer picture of what you have going on, open a konsole and type: df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

Copy and paste the output here so we can see how space on your system is faring.

Damn! No wonder you are having issues. Of the 215G on /dev/sda5, 100% has been allocated as 'used'. That's not good.

Let's determine how many kernels you have installed. In the konsole type: dpkg --list | awk '/linux-image/ {print \$2}'

Copy and paste the output.

Let's also see what's going on with downloaded packages. In the konsole type: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives; sudo ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
You'll be prompted for your password on the second part.

Copy and paste the output.

Thank you very much Snowhog :-)

Thank you.

Okay. Two things going on here. First, you have a LOT of downloaded packages. Second, you have a LOT of installed kernels. Both are consuming massive amounts of space on your system. Time for some housecleaning.

Let's deal with the downloaded packages. In the konsole type: sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove

man apt-get

autoclean (and the auto-clean alias since 1.1) Like clean, autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. The difference is that it only removes package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless. This allows a cache to be maintained over a long period without it growing out of control.

autoremove (and the auto-remove alias since 1.1) autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.

Once done, let's look at space usage again. Type: df -hT --exclude-type=tmpfs --exclude-type=devtmpfs

I have to ask: You've posted this Topic in 20.04, but the listing of installed kernels on your system (4.15.0-*) indicate your running either 16.04 or 18.04, both of which are EOL (End of Life), unless you have ESM. "ESM is available through an Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure subscription for physical servers, virtual machines, containers and desktops, and is free for personal use."

If you are running on either of these releases, we (KFN) really can't help. That said, we can help you with cleaning up the old kernels. You really only need the most recent and one prior (as a 'safety boat'). Any kernels older than that can, and should, be removed. Installed kernels and their modules take up a lot of space.

The 'safest way' to purge older installed kernels is to mark them for Purging in Muon Package Manager. Do you have Muon Package Manager installed?

**nicrnicr** · Mar 27, 2022, 02:57 PM

Dear Snowhog,

I am very sorry. I have been "struggling" to install Kubuntu 20.04 on a laptop.
I intend to replace soon those Kubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 with two Kubuntu 20.04.
This is why I was cleaning those old Kubuntu before the aforementionned installations. Therefore I kept on thinking 20.04 but indeed I would like to transfer free space from the trash of Kubuntu 18.04 to the full space outside this trash. So this topic has been put to a wrong place.

Yes, I have the Muon Package Manager.

**claydoh** · Mar 27, 2022, 03:00 PM

Are we talking about Kubuntu 20.04 Focal? This is the 20.04 forum section, after all.

You should have at the very least a 5.4 kernel. not 4.15, which is quite old - from 18.04. Which is End of Life in Kubuntu.
Even an upgrade from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS would have installed 5.4, or newer.

I am going to assume you are actually running Bionic 18.04?
lsb_release -a, if you are unsure

That many kernels will eat some space for sure

Normally, running an occasional sudo apt autoremove is useful to remove extra kernels, leavoing behind the last three iirc.
The last time I recqll seeing this process broken in *buntu was in ---- 18.04. So I am guessing whatever bug there was, never got fixed by Ubuntu.

There are tools and scripts that may be useful, as manually removing all of those will be tedious.
You could use Muon or Synaptic to mark and remove all but the newest 2 or 3 kernels, and do an autoremove afterwards to also remove other misc packages related to them, if any.

You might also try the command purge-old-kernels, which I have used in the past (very distant past), and seems to still be around.

You may have to install the package byobu, which provides the utility - sudo apt install byobu
then
sudo purge-old-kernels --keep 3

It doesn't work that way, the trash is not a specific drive or partition. You can limit how much space it holds before it is full, but it is shared so there is no free space to transfer back.

To change the size the trash is allowed to hold, see these images below (for 20.04, Dolphin version 19.12.3 or similar) :
