    Hello,

    Each time I do an upgrade more space gets used by vitalpbx. If I do clean install the space used is much less again.

    The hardware I am running has limited space so my question is:

    How can I clean up the files that were used each time I upgrade instead of reinstalling every so often.

    Thanks,

    Trent

    You may execute the following commands to determine which folders are using more space:

    cd ~

    du -sh /* | sort -nr | head -n 10

    If you see, for example, that the var folder is being using a lot of space, you can execute the same command to check what folders inside are using more space:

    du -sh /var/* | sort -nr | head -n 10

    Each time you do an update and it downloads some files for the install where are those stored I suspect those are what are eating up free space?

     

    what command would be used to delete the files?

     

    Thanks,

    Trent
