I usually use my /home partition as well.  But over several versions of
Fedora the cruft in /home had been building up so this time I backed
everything up to a separate hard disk and started clean,
including /home, on my Linux disk.

I used Evo File => Backup to store evo on my backup hard disk; after
installation I restored (Evo File => Restore) from the backup hard disk.

It should all work. I hadn't touched any of my Evo settings before or
since the new installation -- until a couple of days ago when I first
decided to try and fix the non-expunge problem.

No reply required.  I am just being a bit defensive.

An afterthought.  Could going from ext3 to ext4 on my new /home
partition have anything to do with it?
