How to Check My Droplet’s Disk Space Usage?

Hey! 👋

You can check your Droplet’s disk space usage with:

df -h

This will show all mounted filesystems and their usage in a human-readable format.

To see which directories are taking up space, run:

du -sh /*

Let me know if you need help freeing up space!

Heya,

The command you are looking for is df -h. That would give you some information like

root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-fra1-01:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs            97M  1.3M   95M   2% /run
/dev/vda1        24G   16G  7.4G  69% /
tmpfs           481M  2.1M  479M   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
/dev/vda16      881M  186M  634M  23% /boot
/dev/vda15      105M  6.1M   99M   6% /boot/efi
tmpfs            97M   12K   97M   1% /run/user/0
overlay          24G   16G  7.4G  69% 
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-fra1-01:~#

You see /dev/vda1 24G 16G 7.4G 69% / that is yyour Disk Space, what is the total size, what is used and what is available.
