I have a problem, my .private is using the 100% of my free hard drive space, i have no idea of how to solve this...

Why is file is using every bit on my hd, how can i fix it?

This is the menssage of space using on the terminal:

andrey@andrey-vaio:~$ df -k
S.ficheros            1K-bloques     Usado Disponible Uso% Montado en
/dev/sda3               53876204   7128424   44010988  14% /
udev                     1848456         4    1848452   1% /dev
tmpfs                     757452       920     756532   1% /run
none                        5120         0       5120   0% /run/lock
none                     1893624       396    1893228   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda1              249920700 236820380     405008 100% /home
/home/andrey/.Private  249920700 236820380     405008 100% /home/andrey
/dev/sr0                 4482226   4482226          0 100% /media/disk

I have my home on a particion and the OS on other, the big problem is that now a couldn't save documents because i don't have free space.

You might want to consider removing the encrypted private directory if so follow the steps below.

To remove this setup:

  1. Ensure that you have moved all relevant data out of your ~/Private directory

  2. Unmount your encrypted private directory

    $ ecryptfs-umount-private

  3. Make ~/Private writable again 

    $ chmod 700 ~/Private

  4. Remove ~/Private, ~/.Private, ~/.ecryptfs (Note: THIS IS VERY PERMANENT AND WILL DELETE ALL YOUR FILES, NOT JUST THE ENCRYPTED COPIES!)

     $ rm -rf ~/Private ~/.Private ~/.ecryptfs

  5. Uninstall the utilities

     $ sudo apt-get remove ecryptfs-utils libecryptfs0
