exceeded quota in file storage

Hi!

On my Dashboard->Files page appears the next quota exceeded message:

100% full (1022.3 MB of your 1.0 GB quota)

I've only stored in my account small code text files and also few no-huge databases, which seems impossible I've reached that limit.

What's the best way to check my file storage capacity in pythonanywhere?

It might be stuff in your /tmp directory -- that's the most common cause of hard-to-track-down disk usage.

The following bash command will give you a disk space reading for all of your files across all of the directories you can write to:

du -hs /tmp ~/.[!.]* ~/* /var/www/

Thanks I had lot of stuff in /tmp directory.

But I also have around 500M in /.local /.cache and /.virtualenvs.

Can I do something there?

It's probably safe to delete anything in the cache folder. virtualenvs you should deal with on a case-by-case basis, you know best what you're using them for!

btw, extra storage only costs $0.25/GB, and you can upgrade at any time...
