Removing wolfram-engine (10.3.1+2016012407)

I ran out of space and found this was one of the component that was causing it.
Removed it !

root@raspberrypi:~# find / -type f -printf '%T@ %p\n' |sort

command should give you an idea of the last files touched by the OS- giving you a hint of what other components that could be chewing up disk space.

Thanks for this solution, it works like a charm 😄

LIKE

you must be install again:
root@raspberrypi:# sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine
root@raspberrypi:# sudo apt-get purge wolfram-engine
This is working
