Take the tour ×  I have a dedicated ubuntu server that hosts a
rails web app. It has 2.9TB free in the home directory, which is
where I host the app (for convenience sake). We host video so
the home directory was filling up, so I deleted everything that
was considered unnecessary.  However, now the home directory
says it is 86% full, even though all that is on it is a web app
of 10 GB.  These are the stats when I log in:    System load:
2.45              Processes:           170   Usage of /home:
81.2% of 2.70TB   Users logged in:     1   Memory usage:   42%
IP address for eth2:   Swap usage:     0%  This is what I get
when I type "du -sm * | sort -nr" in the /home directory.  10369
sound 4       usera 1       lost+found 1       backup  And this
is what I get when I type df:  Filesystem           1K-blocks
