Hi,

I'm just don't understand the logic from nautilus, see by yourself and if you understand, explain me!

What's the problem with the information on that screenshot?
You selected eight folder and two files. Those occupy ~84,5 GiB on the drive,
and contain 62417 folders and 6857 files altogether. The partition where all that resides on has
3,8 GiB free space, and the size of that partition is 102.8GiB and is 97% full.

BTW, that is not nautilus, but Dolphin, see the icon in the upper left corner.

.....and also the text "Dolphin" in the right in the tab.

The problem is that 102.8 - ~84.5 isn't equal 3.8
That's the problem!

Sorry, I have been a long time in gnome based :/

Maybe you haven't selected all files on that partition, you could miss those in the hidden trashbin, or generally hidden files,
as those are not shown per default ... What do you want to achieve with that in the end?

I have activate the options for seeing hidden files, and there is no .Trash* anywhere.

Having the true left size, not the false one, I mean:
be able to use all of my left place not just a litte just because Dolphin(or whenever the problem come from) don't want lol

Then check in a terminal via

Code: Select all

du -hs /path/you/want/to/check

or

Code: Select all

df -h /path/you/want/to/check

Replace /path/you/want/to/check with the path you want to check, obviously. The problem could also be that you have many small files, which occupy inodes, and that way they use more space physically on the partition. I.e. they consume more space than their actual file size. df -i will tell you how many inodes are used.

FWIW, the local trashbin resides in ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ and those for external partitions are located at the root of those partitions in a folder called .Trash500.

Then check in a terminal via

Code: Select all

du -hs /path/you/want/to/check

That's the answer:

Code: Select all

93G     /home

Then check in a terminal via

Code: Select all

df -h /path/you/want/to/check

That's the anser:

Code: Select all

Sys. fich.     Taille Util. Dispo Uti% Monté sur
/dev/sda2        103G   95G  3,2G  97% /home

The problem could also be that you have many small files, which occupy inodes, and that way they use more space physically on the partition. I.e. they consume more space than their actual file size. df -i will tell you how many inodes are used.

I try it but I don't understant what that mean:

Code: Select all

# df -i /home
Sys. fich.     Inodes IUtil. ILibre IUti% Monté sur
/dev/sda2        6,5M    71K   6,4M    2% /home

FWIW, the local trashbin resides in ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ and those for external partitions are located at the root of those partitions in a folder called .Trash500.

There is no .Trash500 in the root partitions and all the ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ are empty!

So 95GB out of 102GB are used. And only 2% inodes are used, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I don't understand your meaning, sorry :/
