BOINC has occupied almost 100 GB on my hard drive, and demands more:

I think I had this happen before, but can't remember how I got out of it. I'm running Linux Mint, and I'm not exactly a power user but I can kludge my way around. A cursory search of the forums and Google doesn't give me any results that seem to fit my needs.

Any help?
2) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Manager won't come up in Linux Mint (Message 99160)

That did it.

For anyone else who has this problem:

Go to your home directory, and then the user directory.

rm BOINC\ Manager-xxxx

where "xxxx" = the suffix at the end of your manager file.

Thanks, all.

Been running BOINC for years, been running it on Linux Mint for >1 year and now I can't get it to bring up the Manager. Tried restarting, tried a couple of simple command line things (sudo service boinc-client restart), quick searched the message boards.

I'm no pro at Linux; anyone have any advice for what to try next?

That did it, thanks. Wasn't coming up in a Google search for some reason.

I have an old version of BOINC that was damaged somehow, and when I attempt to remove it, it won't allow me to do so, even when I find the right (?) .msi file.

It's version 6.10.58, and I seem to recall I may need to reinstall the old version, remove it, and then install the new one to get it to work. Haven't been able to find 6.10.58 for Windows. Little help, please?

Thank you.
