Disk Space 100% Used. Cleaned but still Used 100%

Posted on June 10, 2014

Hello,

Guys need your advice.

I ran a command on my CentOS df -h and it says

<pre> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda 30G 29G 0 100% / none 504M 0 504M 0% /dev/shm </pre> Well, I understand that it means that no space left available.

But I have now erased like 5 Gigs of old backups and it says still Use - 100%.

Can you tell please where is my mistake?

Regards, Vlad

Strange, was deleting files from SSH.

Went to my Server panel, deleted from there and everything went good.

You were probably deleting symlinks via SSH or something similar. Since there’s no reason why deleting via a panel would work any better than with the real commands.
