As We are using the below **Droplets ** Configuration in my application
_CPU Optimized _ vCPUs - 4 vCPUs Memory - 8GB SSD - 50 GB Transfer - 5TB
Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vdal - 49 49Gb 9.9M 100% /
We are using the prestashop php and mysql ecommerce website only. We don’t know how space occupied for the simple ecommerce application in droplets like 49gb got full suddenly.

Hi there,
I recently answered a similar question here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/28-no-space-left-on-device-error
I could suggest following the steps from that answer:
I would recommend starting with the following:
The output would look something like this:
In my case I am using 20G out of 25GB available for my root partition. Basically the
df
command reports the file system disk space usage.The output should look something like:
Depending on the size of your disk, the command might take a while to complete. You can then go ahead and delete any of the large files that you do not need.
du
command which estimates the file space usage:For example:
Then we can
cd
into the largest folder and run the command again:We would need to do that a few more times until we get to the folder that is using those 5GB:
Then one more time:
And again:
We’ve found the folder! We can see how many files are in the folder by running this command:
Note: if you have a database service like MySQL, make sure Not to delete any files manually from the MySQL folder. This would cause issues with your database.
If you are unable to clear any disk space I would recommend upgrading your Droplet.
Let me know if you have any questions!
