I ran out of disk space on an ubuntu server. How can I know how the disk space is being used so I can clean up the disk / delete unnecessary files?

Best Answer

  • df -h: will tell you space usage of all mounted filesystems.
  • du -sh: will tell you space usage of current directory.
  • du -h --max-depth=1: will tell you space usage of each directory in current directory.
