I am thinking like in the android phone way, you upgrade your OS but no files are gone. Is there anyway to do that??

Well, there isn't a need to delete files in the first place.

  • For normal users, you get a GUI dialog box pop up to ask if you want to upgrade to the newest release.

  • The command line method is sudo do-release-upgrade -d or sudo sed -i 's/raring/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y.

  • The CD method is simply clicking upgrade when asked how you want to install.

However, it's advisable to make a /home partition when you first install Ubuntu so you can always do a complete fresh install and still have all of your files.
