You may need to expand your disks. Please refer to this article here, https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/resize/#verifying-disk-resizes
The last section titled “## Verifying Disk Resizes” has instructions you can follow to extend your disk after increasing the storage.

Hello @miraaxolotl
As mentioned you can verify that the disk was extended using the
dftool. In certain cases, a disk resize fails to resize the Droplet’s partition or filesystem. If you rerundf -hafter a disk resize and the output is unchanged, this usually indicates a problem.You can find more information here:

Hey @miraaxolotl,
The message is associated with a full disk. Can you enter your Droplet/SSH to it and type in
df -hwhat do you see? Is your disk still full?Additionally, it’s possible to remove uneeded files from your system without the worry of breaking anything. It’s possible your app has created a lot of log files which have taken up your space.
