I'm using Kubuntu. My disk was full some days ago and the system requested me to delete files. I deleted a ~17GB directory, but it didn't appear at the bin and didn't released the space.

What could be happening? Thanks!

df -h

~$ df -h

  • There seems to be some free space there, what makes you think you didn't get the space back?

  • I deleted more things because what I deleted didn't give the space, of course :/

A good program to visualize these types of things is the Disk Usage Analyzer.

Sometimes on drives a .Trash folder is created when these files get "moved" to the bin.

This will at least help you to figure out exactly where the space is going.
