Thanks for you help actionparsnip I am new to Linux

Q/ Do I need delete the following:- linux-headers-2.6.32-22 linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic

with:-

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-headers-2.6.32-22 linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic

to remove them and have I correctly set it out, if not could you help me please?

You can run:

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

As your output says.

The system is saying they are no longer needs so you can save some space by getting rid of them.

Thank you. that's done:

I note that I still have in my Video Folder a Folder called BBC iPlayer and so far I have not been able to delete it:-

How is this done?

Do it in nautilus, should be fine. If it won't budge then run:

gksudo nautilus

and you can then delete it

What does nautilus do, as I can't see anything in Terminal other this:-

richard@richard-desktop:~$ gksudo nautilus

Initializing nautilus-gdu extension

and them a new window opens with Root File-Browser showing Desk top Folder that appears to be empty !

Where can I learn more about the use of Linux, and what books would recommend ?

I was able to delete iPlayer folder which was in the Video folder perhaps I did not do it correctly the first time....Thanks

No worries dude, please mark as solved if it is so.

Thanks

Thank you again for help actionparsnip!
