Reaching storage capacity is a common issue for users. In your \/home<\/span> directory you’ll have about 10GB of storage capacity. Any large data files or programs should be put in your \/scratch<\/span> directory.<\/p>\n The command that will be most useful for you is getquotas<\/span>.<\/p>\n The #Bytes<\/span> column shows your storage usage and the Quota column shows your storage capacity. Your \/home<\/span> directory will have far less storage than your personal \/scratch<\/span> directory or that of any \/projects<\/span> directories you have. Avoid putting large data files or programs in \/home<\/span>, because it will fill up quickly.<\/p>\n The quota<\/span> command will also tell you how much storage is used and available for your \/home<\/span>.<\/p>\n When you are trying to free up space, you can use the du or find commands to identify large files you want to delete.<\/p>\n Here’s a du command example that will output in sorted order the largest files in your \/home<\/span> (largest files will be at the bottom of the output stream):<\/p>\n This is another example, this time using the find command, to identify files larger than 1GB:<\/p>\n Run the above command(s) in the directory where you are at or near capacity.<\/p>\n Once you find the files\/directories you want to remove you can use the rm<\/span> command.<\/p>\n Disclaimer: The rm<\/span> command is destructive. It will not keep a copy in a Trash directory like it would on a windows desktop. Once you run rm<\/span> you will not be able to recover your data.<\/p>\n If you have files that you want to move to another directory, run cp<\/span> to copy over to the new location, and then run rm<\/span> to remove your original copy.<\/p>\n The rm<\/span> and cp<\/span> commands need the -r<\/span> flag if you are working with directories. This will tell the program to recursively remove or copy, the contents of the directory.<\/p>\n If you have any questions feel free to contact us<\/a>.
