orphan files in left groups
Hello
I have a group which was created maybe 2 years ago. I was the admin and posted files there. In the "Group Postings" folder the files showed up under "[GROUP]/Group Postings 1" and "[GROUP]/Group Postings 2". Unlike my postings to other groups, which showed up directly under "[GROUP]".
I left this Group now, after giving admin rights to somebody else in the group. After leaving the group, the postings were still visible in "Group Postings". Now I deleted all the links and folders with files of that group. They are gone and I have no more access to the private group now.
Anyhow, as my friend, who is still a member of that group, told me, my files are still available there and tagged as posted by me.
I myself can't acces them any more though. So they are nevertheless still using my storage space now? Why didn't they get deleted? How to fix the situation?

In general, it is quiet difficult to find out which files and directories are actually using up my storage in wuala. If i click on a folder and check the size in the information shown at the bottom or click "preferences" and check it there, I often see "Size: Unknown" or wrong sizes, changing again after i open the folder once. I mean the information is often not complete, it changes when there can't be no real change and is therefore not very useful. Please try to improove that.
Do you know baobab from gnome-utils. I think it's available in any ubuntu distribution. Just hit Alt-F2 and type baobab. This app displays a very nice and useful graphical representation ("rings chart") of the disk usage and it would be great if it could be used with wuala. The reason, why it can't be used at the moment, are the group postings folder which doesn't show any files in the nfs export and the nfs instability and slowness.

Inappropriate?We are currently improving the way the used storage is calculated. We will definitely be able to make sure that everything that costs you storage is shown in either your files or your group postings. However, there is no guarantee that we can remove all orphan files. The improved storage calculation is scheduled for the next update.
