My laptop says the disk is full, so I'm trying to make some space by removing some files. But the ls output doesn't make sense for me. The Downloads directory, in reality, is empty... I guess the issue is elsewhere, but I have no idea of how to start solving the problem.
The problem persists after the new system installation.
ls -lSh output:
maria@maria-Vostro-3360:/media/maria/2845d360-0b89-46c8-97ff-dc5e9862949e /home/maria$ ls -lSh
