no more free disk space

[Guest]

Hey,

I have a rather annoying problem where I keep getting the error that there is no more free disk space. When I calculate it it shows there is a few GB left. However it is already impossible to download anything or even play streams from internet.
I have even deleted some stuff however they dissappear completely. They don't show up in the trash or anything.
I hope anyone can help me
much obliged.

Re: no more free disk space

Open a console and type:

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo updatedb
df -h

The first three commands will remove previously downloaded .deb packages (that you don't really need, since they were installed). The fourth command updates the database used by locate. The last command will show you the space data on your system. You should now have more space available within the root partition.

Also, ext3/4 in default configuration reserves 5% of each partition. It can be tuned for less than that (but be careful -- there can be consequences):
