High disk usage

[Awd]

On my vps I have suddenly (I think after custombuild nginx reverse proxy apache installation, but i am not sure), a huge disk usage. From 189gb there is 159gb in use.

What can I do to reduce the diskusage to normal properties?

p.s. I am new in this forum, so if this is the wrong thread, please let me know where to post it correctly.

Kind regards,
Laura

Hi,

If you are using Nginx, then I would suggest you check the complete disk space utilization once more using below command

du -sch /

Once you get the output, you can check which directory is occupying more space. I think it could be Nginx temporary session files or may be something different, but the exact reason could only be found if the disk space utilization structure is clear. Use the above command to do this.
