Size of accounts

Hi,

We have a VPS with a 10gb allowance of storage space. Our overall server stats show 9.3gb and I am trying to figure out where the space is being used. I have totalled up the domains visible in plesk and this seems to come to only 4.2gb, how can I see where the rest of the space is being used? I have root access via SSH.

Many thanks

Go to the root directory of your file system and run:

du -h --max-depth=1

It will show you where the space is used. When you see a directory branch you think might be the culprit, cd into it and run the command again.

You can drill down to where all the big directories are with this command quite easily, but it's a manual process.
