    I’m having a space issue with my Fog server. I think when i’m deleting images, they are only deleting from the gui and not the box itself? Is there a way to “purge” any remnants?

    Output from putty:

    root@tie-fogdeploy-01:~# df

    Dashboard shows

    Image list:

    Total size of the images is 105.29GB?

      @RogerBrownTDL First of all, when you delete an image from the list of images (without opening the image definition first) it only removes the image from the database but leaves the raw files on the fog server’s hard drive. From the developers, this is by design. If you open the image definition and delete the image from the buttons inside the image definition it will also purge the raw files from the fog server.

      So what to do now?

      You will have to manually delete the image file directories using the fog server’s linux command prompt. They are all located in /images on the fog server.

      So if you follow the following steps

      1. Open a linux command shell on your fog server
      2. Change to the ./images directory
        cd /images
      3. Get a directory listing of directories in the /images directory.
        ls -la
      4. Identify the old image directories based on the directory name and ones you know you deleted. I’m going to give you a command that will purge all files in a directory, be careful with the command line because with great power comes great responsibility. The -rf flag means delete any directories below the path given and the other once forces a delete without a warning prompt.
        sudo rm -rf /images/<image_name>

      There is another command you can run like df -h that will show you the disk partitions with used and free space. You should see the / or /images partition free up as you delete files.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
