  <title>Scan your <file>Home</file> folder</title>

  <p>The <file>Home</file> folder is where most files are located for the
  average user because default settings are often set to save or copy files
  into subdirectories within it. This includes downloads from the internet,
  documents which you work on and photos from your camera. Normally, one
  <file>Home</file> folder exists for each user on the computer.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Scan Home Folder</gui></guiseq>
      from the menu</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Stop</gui></guiseq> to cancel the
    current scan, or <guiseq><gui>Analyzer</gui><gui>Refresh</gui></guiseq> to
    repeat the last scan.</p>
  </note>

  <p>The results may be useful in deciding which folders can be
  <link href="ghelp:file-roller">archived</link>,
  <link href="help:gnome-help/files-delete">deleted</link> or
  <link href="help:gnome-help/files-copy">moved</link> to free up space. You can
  also use the results to estimate how much space would be needed for a
  <link href="help:gnome-help/backup-how">backup</link> of your
  <file>Home</file> folder.</p>

  <p>Right-click on any folder and select <gui>Open Folder</gui> to launch the
  <app>Files</app> application, or <gui>Move to Trash</gui> to move your folder
  to <file>Trash</file>.</p>

  <note style="advanced">
    <p>The default subdirectories usually include <file>Desktop</file>,
    <file>Documents</file>, <file>Downloads</file>, <file>Pictures</file> and
    <file>Music</file>, among others. Some of these will already exist when
    GNOME is installed; others will be created by applications when they are
    needed.</p>
