I'm not sure where all my space went

But if you’re making a backup that includes the 12GB uploads, that’ll take roughly twice that to make a backup, and a couple of backups will likely fill your disk.

I don’t have any backups saved on site I usually keep the newest one (which is 5.8ishGB) and delete the older ones (also have all those backed up off site), but right now I have none on the site the only space admin reports is the 12GB uploads. I was planning on either expanding the droplet or adding the block storage soon but then all the space evaporated and I hadn’t made a backup in a couple weeks while I was gone and I was looking at the blockstorage guide here and it’s more than just “buy and connect it” so I don’t want to risk moving and changing stuff without one

Note: If you ran out of disk space, don’t forget to verify that the remote download images setting hasn’t been automatically disabled because of this. We are supposed to get notification about that, but I somehow missed it multiple times. I’m not even sure I got this notification.

I wasn’t fully out it was down to 700mb but I did check and this isn’t disabled but thanks for letting me know.

I’ll try all the suggestions in here and see if any works/where it says the space is

@Benjamin_D

could it simply be some old kernels ?
sudo apt autoremove ?
maybe the logs ?

This cleared nothing

@Ed_S

Some information here:
Any advice on how to save space?

This essentially confirms for me something is off since he’s talking about on his 25GB install, mine is on a 50GB droplet!
