How do I find the amount of free space on my hard drive?
Open System Monitor from Dash and select the Filesystems tab.
Or alternatively open a Terminal and type:
df -h
You can use baobab
, or similar tools such as kdirstat
or filelight
, to see what files are using up your disk space.
Baobab is also called Disk Usage Analyzer
on Ubuntu.
Here's a sample screenshot of baobab
:

For a command line option, I prefer to use ncdu
:
You can drill into sub-folders to get total relative disk usage on the sub-folders. It's turtles all the way down. More nifty than du -sh
on remote machines.
gnome-system-monitor
or df -h
or lsblk
