I ran into a disk usage problem with my DirectAdmin server yesterday, so started to investigate where it came from with this command:

Code: 
du -h / | grep '^.*[0-9]G' | sort -n

Turned out my biggest problem had nothing to do with something related to DirectAdmin, but I did find something interesting that does. I found out MariaDB is using quite some space in the /usr/local area with all sorts of versions of the program:

1,1G /usr/local/mariadb-5.5.46-linux-x86_64
1,4G /usr/local/mariadb-10.0.22-linux-x86_64
1,5G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.9-linux-glibc_214-x86_64
1,6G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.10-linux-glibc_214-x86_64
1,6G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.11-linux-glibc_214-x86_64
1,6G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.12-linux-glibc_214-x86_64
1,6G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.13-linux-glibc_214-x86_64
1,6G /usr/local/mariadb-10.1.14-linux-glibc_214-x86_64

Why are all these versions in there? Can I safely remove all but the most recent one?
 
You can safely remove all versions that are not used at the moment.
 
Thanks for the advice, will do. Is it supposed to work like this, or is this a bug?
Especially after some time this will take up a lot of space with around 1,5GB per version.
