Help Needed Please

Hi everyone

I recently purchased a 2nd hand PowerMac G5 which is running OS X 10.4.3 but have a problem with used hard drive space. The old accounts have been deleted and it is just my user account on there now. I have run the query sudo du -hd1 / and can see that the directory /private/var/spool/cups/tmp is taking up 107gb of space. When i try to see what files are in this directory I get a permission denied error message.

Has anyone got any suggestions for freeing this space up??

Thanks

You can't do a: sudo ls -al /private/var/spool/cups/tmp to see what is in there?

Then a: sudo rm -rvf /private/var/spool/cups/tmp to delete it?
