Deleting files not freeing up disk space - Baz8755 - 8th Sep, 2020 02:53 AM
I'm not really sure where to post this but here goes
I have a 128GB SD card and has installed the latest build of xbian.
I have made the /media rewriteable using chmod 777 as I write to it from my PC.
I have copied files across via my local network to the folder and all works well.
However when I delete files in the folder df -k does not show that disk space is being reclaimed and is currently showing 68% usage.
Ideas anyone?

data is still in snapshot(s)

How do I check/clear snapshots?

Also check for recycle bin.

Does linux even have a recycle bin?
Not deleting files using PC, using rm command

sudo xbian-snapper or start XBian-config GUI -> Backup (advanced setting in Preferences required)

I had the same problem.
Deleting all snapshot and reboot get back Free space
Terminal
sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot list | grep -v /@$ | grep auto-snap | xargs -L1 sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot destroy

I don't think so. if all snapshots are deleted then there is nothing else to delete.

yes, I modified my post... I needed to reboot to see the changes with "df -h" command

A reboot is usually not necessary.
Only the memory is not released immediately, there is a certain delay until the freed memory is actually released again
