Using a Corsair Force 3 120gb SSD, with 13.04 (no other OS's installed)

df -h ~ reports that I have 94gb available (wut?), and 82gb used (wrong).
GParted says i'm only using a few hundred megabytes (way off)
Disk Usage Analyser says i'm using about 56gb, but also thinks i'm almost full up (wtf)

From searching, I found someone suggest that the trash isn't being emptied properly (i think that was what they said), and that I should do something called "vaccuming" to the drive. No idea how, or what it is, or even if it is actually relevant.

Any input is welcome. I am still very new to ubuntu so this might be some n00b mistake on my part.


df -h ~
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 94G 82G 8.2G 91% /

  • And check hidden files in your home directory. I recently had problem with xsession log which took about 30 GiBs (there were Wine errors).

  • When asking questions, you need to be as detailed as you can. Don't just say "df reports blah" actually paste the output into your question.

  • Using Disk Space Analyzer, you should be able to see exactly where the space is used. If you provide that kind of details, it'll be much easier to help you.

Found the solution.

I ran gksudo baobab and found that root/share/trash had 50gb of data.
