Got digital trash in your network userspace?

Because the server space on the campus network is shared across the student body, it is very important that you keep only things that you need in your userspace. If the server runs out of space, you and your fellow students may not be able to save work in the labs or public computers.
An easy way to free up more disk space is to empty the Trash or Recycle Bin. There is currently 72GB worth of data sitting in student trash folders on the file server. If you are a frequent user of ITS labs or public computers, ITS would appreciate it if you would frequently empty the Trash or Recycle Bin in your userspace.
To empty your Recycle Bin (Windows users):
- Log into a Windows-based computer in the labs
- Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon and choose Empty Recycle Bin
To empty your Trash (Macintosh Users)
- Log into a Macintosh-based computer in the labs
- In Finder, pull down the Finder Menu and choose Empty Trash…
Your assistance is much appreciated!
A New Look for the ITS Website
We’ve updated our ITS website with a clean, minimal design. Our goal is to simplify the layout and focus on the information you’re trying to find.
Please let us know what you think of the new design, and the ITS website overall. We’re always trying to make our site better and we’d love to hear your suggestions. Please email Jason Brown with any comments.
