I am absolutely new to Linux.
I downloaded 50GB of data on the server disk via SSH.
Then I deleted them using midnight commander.
Now, the tab-completion doesn't work, and it is giving me the following error:
-bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device
How can I resolve this issue?
find out what's taking so much space (in your home folder)
find /home/$USER -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 2 -type d | xargs du -sm | sort -n
(...)
6517 /home/jaroslav/Data
7697 /home/jaroslav/tmp
19636 /home/jaroslav/src
It could also be that /tmp is full (where the temporary file is being created). Use df to find out:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p9 421G 354G 63G 85% /
/dev/nvme0n1p9 421G 354G 63G 85% /home
(...)
If /tmp or / shows up as 100% in use, then use du to find what you can remove...
/tmp or /var/tmp if they're writable (unless the TMPDIR environment variable is set, in which case it checks that first). Only after that it uses the current directory, so it's a bit unlikely it'd try to create the temp file in $HOME.
