How to Find the Amount of Free Disk Space in Ubuntu

Topic: Ubuntu / LinuxPrev|Next

Answer: Use the df Command

You can use the df command to find the amount of free space on your hard drive in Ubuntu.

The df displays the amount of disk space available on the file system containing each file name argument. If no file name is given, the space available on all currently mounted file systems is shown.

With -h option, df will print sizes in human readable format (in powers of 1024 e.g., 1K, 150M, 2G).
