×You can check how much disk space you are using by running the df command.
Question
root@droplet:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 40G 3.9G 34G 11% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 999M 4.0K 999M 1% /dev
tmpfs 202M 324K 202M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1008M 0 1008M 0% /run/shm
none 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user
The -h option is used to output human readable sizes (e.g. 34G instead of 34000000000 bytes).
In this example, the droplet is using 3.9 gigabytes of disk space.
