I’m out of disk space and need to figure out how to free up space.
Find out how full your memory is:
df -h
I figured out which drive I wanted to check out and so knowing that I do a command like this:
sudo du -hxd1 / | sort -hr | head -n 10
I could tell something wrong based off what it told me:
416G /
219G /root
147G /home
25G /usr
17G /var
11G /nix
19M /etc
1.2M /tmp
28K /mnt
20K /snap
Why is /root taking up so much space? Let’s find out:
sudo du -hxd1 /root | sort -hr | head -n 10
Ah, I see it’s from an old Monero project leftover:
219G /root
217G /root/.bitmonero
2.0G /root/.cache
4.2M /root/stenc
248K /root/.rpmdb
164K /root/.local
100K /root/.config
20K /root/.dbus
16K /root/snap
8.0K /root/.gnupg
I can pretty much delete .bitmonero without any concern. Yes, I made sure I cleared out my wallet.
