Hello! I'm not a Ubuntu pro user, but I'm trying to learn more and more. Yesterday, I experienced the same situation as described here.
I work with molecular dynamics simulation, specifically with a program called GROMACS. When I was trying to do a simulation, the program told me it would take about 2 days to complete (weird, because the kind of simulation I had trying usually lasts about 6 hours). It only took a little time for my hard disk free space had being completely consumed (and breaking my simulation).
When I used the Baobap to see the disk usage, it took me to this folder .cache/upstart occupying about 70GB! I deleted it, restarted the computer, and my simulation had functioned normally (it took 5 hours to complete), and I didn't have any problems with the .cache. Very strange bug!!
