Digging deeper, into the paperspace folder, which is a dead end. What is in in there that uses all this space but doesn’t show itself? Also ‘ls -l’ has no results.
I had a similar issue just a few days ago. For me it came up because I had started with low memory and later upgraded and had not mapped the additional space inside the VM.
Not sure if its the same case with you. Anyway, support was quite fast to help out.
Thanks for the reply, but I haven’t upgraded. In general I have used very little space and all the standard temporary folders, logs and user data looks pretty normal.
I’ll try send paperspace a message and see what they have to say about it.
What finally worked for me was emptying the trash files:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*
I have had this exact same problem a bunch of times, and keep forgetting that this worked the last time. I never actually realized that linux had trash files like this that needed ‘emptying’? Anyway, hope this helps someone
