Missing disk space

[Stormer_Ils]

I’m sorry if I’m in the wrong section my problem is kinda weird.
I few hours ago I tried to delete some big files the total was higher than 30 go so dolphin told me to delete by small bits. I do that but what happens is that the file disappears but the disk still is full.

here’s what -df returns:

I also tried using ncdu to calculate the missing data and comparing it to mi disk size 30 go or so are missing
I also got this using filelight

And the kde particition manager

Thanks in advance

Hello @Stormer_Ils

Look for a hidden folder with the name .Trash-1000. This is usually the folder for the trash-bin. If you just delete it on dolphin, then it is just moved to Trash. There should be an option somewhere to skip the trash and delete it directly forever.

[Stormer_Ils]

Thank you!!!
This post doesn’t end here however because what happened is a little weird.
After searching for a few minutes I couldn’t find the folder. So I went into dolphin’s config panel and checked for the trash bin only to discover that I had now two trash bin folders.

The 1st being the og so I went to the folder and found the folder to delete.

/run/media/** is not in disk 300Go but in second 600Go, a link to another partition

[openminded]

Your root is almost full too (97%).
Consider checking how much space is occupied by coredumps in /var/lib/systemd/coredump

[Stormer_Ils]

Yeah I just noticed I still could get rid of around 20go which isn’t exactly bad.
@openminded 400mo only I know that I have 10gb of unused packages so I will delete them

Hello,
i did not want to open a very similar topic so i posted here.

If im using df or Filelight or Dolphin it tells me that my root filesystem (nvme0n1p1) is using 94% of its space:

/dev/sda1       3,6T    445G  3,0T   13% /media/backup

Im a Linux beginner, but i think im right in saying that my sda1 which is a 4TB HDD is mounted to /media/backup (because i did so in fstab) is added to the used space of nvme0n1p1

→ For me this means, that the used space on nvme0n1p1 of 803G is not correct, in terms of determining how much space is left on this disk
→ Am i right?

If i tell Filelight, to exclude the /media-folder, it shows me this for my root filesystem:

And using the following line i also see, that /media is counted as “taking space of nvme0n1p1”

[xxx@xxx-manjaro ~]$ sudo du -axhd1 / | sort -hr | head -30
[sudo] xxx für xxx: 
803G    /
360G    /home
342G    /media
93G     /var
9,0G    /usr
247M    /opt
114M    /boot
12M     /etc
1,2M    /root
24K     /desktopfs-pkgs.txt
16K     /lost+found
12K     /srv
8,0K    /rootfs-pkgs.txt
4,0K    /none
4,0K    /mnt
4,0K    /.manjaro-tools
0       /snap
0       /sbin
0       /lib64
0       /lib
0       /bin

There may be something i dont get right.
Can someone tell me how

1. it makes sense to add up file sizes of different drives (which makes no sense to me)? → But maybe Linux can not know that this content is from a “different hardware”?
2. i get dolphin and df to ignore the /media-folder, to really see how much space is taken of my ?nvme0n1p1-drive

I think its clear, that i just want to monitor how much physical space is left on my nvme0n1p1

Thanks a lot!
