Full AFS Space Issue - CMU-18240/240-How-to GitHub Wiki

More information about the AFS space can be found here

If your afs space if full you can see which 20 files/directories are taking up the most space with

du --exclude OldFiles -ah . | sort -rh | head -n 20

Most likely, you will see some cache files from Firefox or Chrome. It will look like

./.cache/mozilla/firefox/

If you use sftp with vscode, it will generate some files which will take up quite a lot of space. You can safely remove the files with the rm command. Note that the "~/" means your HOME directory.

rm -r ~/.vscode
rm -r ~/.vscode-server

You also have around 20G in your private ECE space. If removing the large files/cached files did not solve the problem, you can move your files to your ece space using the mv command.

mv -r ~/<path to files> /afs/ece.cmu.edu/usr/<andrewID>/<new path in ece space>
