Partition full and not sure why
by lambdrum from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52RM4)
Hello LinuxQuestions,
I am having a problem with one of my partitions being full and i have no idea why. It is the /dev/sda3 partition and has 13gb total and is 93.5% full. I am running Fedora 30 on VMWare workstation 15 player. The total hard disk size is 54 gb.
Filesystem Partition 1 - 524 MB
Swap Partition 2 - 4.3 GB
Filesystem Partition 3 - 13GB (93.5% full)
Extended Partition 4 27gb
Filesystem Partition 5 1.0GB
Partition 6 - 992 MB
Partition 7 - 999 MB
Filesystem Partition 8 - 2.1GB
Free Space - 22GB
I cannot seem to figure out how to see what is on Partition 3 to see what is taking up so much space, and then to figure out how to free it up. I am currently in a Linux class and so i am very new to Linux, and this has proved to be very difficult to grasp for me. Thank you for your assistance.
