Disk Usage Very Strange
Solution 1:
You could delete the .xsession-errors.old
file entering sudo rm ~/.xsession-errors.old
in terminal.
This file was the 99% of my drive space :)
Solution 2:
Run df -h
in a terminal window. The output should have the proper numbers.
/dev/sda2 16G 5,1G 10G 34% /
udev 2,0G 4,0K 2,0G 1% /dev
tmpfs 807M 896K 806M 1% /run
none 5,0M 8,0K 5,0M 1% /run/lock
none 2,0G 224K 2,0G 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda6 28G 14G 14G 51% /home
In my example the /home filesystem is located on /dev/sda6 and has 14GB used (3rd column) and 14GB free space (4th).
You can check the total disk usage of a directory by using du -hs
. E.g:
$ du -hs /home/username
14G /home/username
You may have hidden directories accumulating large files. The first yellow block in the gparted window shows that the root partition (/dev/sda1) is almost full.
