cd / du -hs

That's weird. I'm on Fedora 28 Workstation and upgraded it several times and my
/
is only using 20 GB. I have tons of crap installed.Check the following:
/var/log
/var/cache
I've seen logs go crazy in the past, could also be the cache.
It seems like you may be on to something....
-
/var/log
is 954MB. That seems high, but not the culprit. -
/var/cache
is 1.2GB. Again that also seems high, but likely not culprit. -
/var/lib
is 34G. I have found my culprit. -
@stacksofplates said in Fedora - Low disk space on root.:
Do
du -xsh /*
. Should show the highest using directories.I am unable to use this command on
/var/lib
This is the output:
[user@PCName lib]# du -xsh 34G .

The /var directory is the culprit, and @Obsolesce is on the right track here I think. If you haven't
cd /var
and run anotherdu -hs
, time to do that. du is the command I use to track down drive space issues.Being that the system has been upgraded, my money would be on a log file growing to ginourmous proportions.
-
So what software in
/var/lib
is taking up all the space?
du -xsh /var/lib*
ls -lash /var/lib

Fedora typically does not fill up and need cleaned out like Windows does. Chances are this is something rather unique.
In the end, it's always windows

I decided to delete it. I am able to RDP into Windows if I need it anyway. My total disk size is only 128GB. So I dont really have room for a 30GB VM anyway.
