No, no indexing software. 2. All thumbnails were removed from dot files before the measurements were done. And no photos were there in /home. I do not use any photo manager Though i did use the app above for looking at the disk space, it was only to look at the total. Thatš what i am beating myself for NOT doing. As far as i know there was nothing that was user generated to warrant that much of space getting used. What was there was already accounted for a mentioned above. The only possibility that i see is Apt cache (which was emptied before the numbers were taken, so thatš not it) and LOGs (which were not looked at ) But logs cant possibly occupy 3.5GB. Thats huge. I also dont have amalfunctioning system or an error prne system that so much of logs get writte. I cant see any other place that something can be hidden and go unnoticed or unaccounted.
