I guess it is bot Home
I have the problem in dev/sd1, and the dev/sda1 is outside of Home
udev 1946192 0 1946192 0% /dev
tmpfs 393224 944 392280 1% /run
/dev/sda1 39062284 37764832 0 100% /
tmpfs 1966120 0 1966120 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 1966120 0 1966120 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda15 258095 1058 257037 1% /boot/efi
tmpfs 393224 0 393224 0% /run/user/0
I want to ask you what the commands to free up the /dev/sda1 ?
Where to go to explore the inside of dev sd 1 and delete folders manually?

You’re going to need to do some of your own work here. This is basic system administration stuff, you really need to know the basics of how to move around the filesystem and understand what’s going on.
I’ve told you how to find where big files are; it works on any filesystem, not just home (and I told you that in a comment above, suggesting you use du on / as well, if the big files aren’t in home). There is a graphical file manager in Virtualmin/Webmin, it can also show you the size of files and can delete files.
But, you shouldn’t go deleting random files until you understand what the heck is going on. Gigabytes of files shouldn’t just appear out of nowhere. Either you put them there or an attacker did, and you need to find out which. Finding where they are and what they are is the first step to doing that.

Okay , I’ll do this , thank you I appreciate it . I just want to ask you another questions concerning backups: How to download to local computer the website source code using Virtualmin?
Is it possible to schedule a backup from virtualmin to local computer?
Difference between backup from Webmin and Virtualmin ?
How to download full server contents and configurations using Webmin ?
Because I don’t find the answers in Virtualmin/webmin documentations
Like Joe said, you need to find out how those files got there. If you’ve been hacked, you DO NOT want to back that stuff up.
You really need to do one of two things: Figure out what actually happened, fix it entirely, then move on or scrap that drive completely and start over.
And for the record, it’s very easy to do backups in Virtualmin. It’s clearly labeled right there in the main menu.
Virtualmin / Backup and Restore / Backup Virtual Servers
thanks , but we cannot do the backup in our PC locally , we can just do it in the server .
I want to do the backup in my own pc .
How Can be possible that we have been hacked , I didn’t get your idea Plz Can you explain?
You need to take a few steps back and learn the basics. Your disk is running out of space. Your virtual server container has been assigned XX MB in space, check that. Somebody has been uploading/using your space. Nothing to do with Virtualmin. To backup using Virtualmin Backup and Restoration – Virtualmin Please read the basic FAQs before attempting to manage a server.
Read above, you can backup to your own PC.
Any Help !!

Yes, as already said several times - /dev/sda1 38G 34G 2.2G 94% / - that is your problem. I dont know, you or somebody may have uploaded ISO images, porn, public ftp - who knows. You can blast the VPS and start over, its just a VPS after all, and in minutes it will be back online.
yes , I see definitely it is not me who uploaded these images , but how can I blast VPS ? like now the website isn’t longer down it backs online , but I want to free up the space of the local disk, and I’m a beginner to manage webservers , so any help form you can help me alot to solve this problem , I want to understand how can I blast The Vps? and this is may not delete the whole website or losing it forever?
You can backup your site/ Virtualmin virtual container. Reset VPS and then re import site from backup. You need to do some legwork and search.
Okay Thank you !!
Man, you are not even bothering to look. You’re not even trying. You can send that backup anywhere you want to.
You don’t even know how 38 gigs of data wound up on your drive. I was going by what Joe said when he said:
I’m girl software developer , I did , I looked in the backup I found local file but if you read it you’ll understand that local file or directory it is just on the server itself not your own computer / your local PC
AND I want the backup on my own PC .
but thank you for your help
Look again, see the attached screenshot. Does it say ‘download in browser’? meaning a backup will be downloaded to your PC.
Dont matter if you are a girl, boy, in transit or something else. If I google ‘virtualmin backup to pc’ - second link provided is How to backup your virtual server – Virtualmin which is the same screenshot as I attached above.
If you have no idea what is taking up space. You can backup and start again. Or source a 3rd party to assist (paid work), there are a few available under a different section of these forums.
