How do I view and delete content of /dev/sda5 , because I have no idea how it is 96% full?
It's ridiculous how my laptop keeps complaining that device is out of space

ncduandfilelight. But it saysNo space left on device. my laptop is literally inching towards becoming a potato.what is strange is https://www.diskreport.net/report/65c36aae4a67621be2d2b3fa640539f2/view here it says only 63 gb used. – kRazzy R Nov 15 '17 at 23:21
sudo du --max-depth 1 / | sort -nthat will sort the biggest folders to the bottom of the list? Don't worry as much about/being listed last as that is the entire amount, but it will show you the other folders containing large amounts of data. – Terrance Nov 15 '17 at 23:25gksudo baobab No space left on device– kRazzy R Nov 15 '17 at 23:26/folder eating up all 463gb. – kRazzy R Nov 15 '17 at 23:32/,/homeis on/dev/sda5. Your19430924 /home(or/home/vivek) is taking up a lot of space. A better way to install Linux is to have/homeon its own partition. That said, you could see if some long-running process has an ever-growing file open withsudo lsof / | awk '{if($7 > 1048576) print $7/1048576 "MB" " " $9 }' | sort -n -uor check for "deleted", but open files withsudo lsof / | egrep 'PID|\(deleted\)'– waltinator Nov 16 '17 at 03:12
