If you do not want to use those old partitions then do not mount them. They are mounted as mdk8_2 and oldhome, which seemed a good idea until I made sure that there was nothing I needed to copy. I guess it would be sensible now to get rid of the mount. It certainly added to the problem when moz plugins found there way there - or perhaps it was seeing old plugins, who knows?
