How to clear unwanted disk space | Linux Server Disk Capacity shows 100% full

[@AlfredAyache]

Thank you so much! I'd been having problems with my Raspberry Pi's SD card filling up. I had no idea what was going on. Your technique allowed me to pinpoint what the problem was (turns out it was Plex Media Server), investigate, and remediate the situation. (I had turned on Video Preview Thumbnails, and that gobbled up all my space.) Thanks again. I'm so grateful for your help.

I run a webserver and ran a swap command and it took 90G of space. This video helped me find the fine and deplete it. this video helped me troubleshoot the problem. I understand and feel your relief.

Sir,
Truncate reduce the Size of file by cutting the content of file.
Then if the its important data and any application is using these file. Then why to truncate ?

[@ServerGyan]

Hi
Firstly we take backup of that file on backup server, then we truncate file on real server

You need to check if any NFS mount is there and NFS server is stopped. For checking the same, you can use "" cat /proc/mounts"" command
