Is there a way to see how much disc space I’m using?

Hi @AJD,
You can see how much space you are using on your droplet by performing the following
ssh root@IpOfYourDroplet
Once you are in, type in the following
df -h
And you’ll be presented with a similar output
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 473M 0 473M 0% /dev
tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 496M 63M 434M 13% /run
tmpfs 496M 0 496M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/vda1 25G 4.0G 22G 16% /
tmpfs 100M 0 100M 0% /run/user/0
If you check the /dev/vda1 you’ll see how much size you have at maximum, how much you’ve used and how much available you have left.
