Try running this command:

sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g /

Add directory names to the slash to drill down.

It looks like this question is related to the other one you just posted (here). You have an 80GB Linode running Plesk with 10 websites, but your disk space is full.

To determine the cause, you'll want to locate the directories using the most files. I recommend running this command:

sudo du /* -h --exclude=/proc | sort -hr | head

This will display the directories with the most files, sorted by size. You can limit the depth by using the option --max-depth=N and you can focus on a certain directory by modifying the path /*.

If you notice a directory is taking up more disk space than expected, you can investigate further by researching what that directory is used for and displaying the contents: ls -lah
