Disk /hda7 (/) 94 %

How can I bring this down a lot?
I'm deleting the /tmp dir every day but this is not enough anymore.

Thank you!

You didn't provide enough information. How is your file system layout? Do you separate /home, /usr, and/or /var partition? What's the role of the server?

In any case, try using 'du' to determine which part of the filesystem that is filling up your disk.

Yes, do a 'du -h --max-depth=1' to see where the space is wasted and go down the directory tree.

Sorry, my mistake.

Disk /hda7 (/) 94 %
Disk /hda1 (/boot) 10 %
Disk /hda9 (/home) 1 %
Disk /hda5 (/usr) 32 %
Disk /hda6 (/var) 10 %

This server is used for hosting and has many customers on it.

Try cleaning out

/opt

/root

and

/backup

also, what is in /

You might have some huge core files or backups sitting in there...

You can recover a large amount of your root partition space by moving and symlinking opt and backup to other partition (such as /usr).
