Master Disk Space Management in Linux: Using du and df command

In Linux, the du and df commands are used for disk space management

The du (short for "disk usage") command is used to show the size and utilisation of a file or directory

[{"selector":"#anim-fe2f650d-422a-42a7-a569-9a2eab112353 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0f4c4b4-1bf1-4283-ad29-e647212e888f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The syntax of du command are: du <file/dir>.

[{"selector":"#anim-c7e9addc-9445-46e6-95de-7ca733f33e71 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ead6574e-a136-4b02-a54d-02722298c1c9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To check the size of all files and directories in the current directory: du -sh 1

[{"selector":"#anim-73bc2fa3-b9bb-4cbf-b9c5-b99b41b7eac1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e557132-e03a-4356-be0d-e655e5cbea56","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Use the --max-depth=N option with the du command to limit the depth of the directory tree to N levels

[{"selector":"#anim-99894011-7dec-49c8-a4bd-7aa9d74be0a3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17b80e14-f182-4f97-a6ff-d05c4c9d6baf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The df (short for "disk free") command is used to display the amount of disk space available on the file system

[{"selector":"#anim-cb653ad6-b468-4102-b62d-04c5dfaed98c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ec362b1-7096-4f9b-852c-49b4f4eb106f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The syntax of du command are: df <file/dir>

[{"selector":"#anim-d5e9e252-191d-4986-a8c5-d8b47ff48ab5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd33a3ad-265b-4686-b605-543ff5de1d23","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To display disk space usage for all mounted file systems: df -h

[{"selector":"#anim-31229eca-913f-49f2-806c-df680adc9fa4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-206572d1-9993-45dc-b8d2-c14b2cd42fab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
