I was informed by AWS that I’ve used 25GB of my storage. I ran `du -h -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 10` to find out the biggest files and it’s looking like most of it is ~1MB and from Docker…?


```
~$ sudo du -h -a /  | sort -n -r | head -n 20

Running `sudo docker system df` shows that docker with all the images, volumes, etc. only uses < 5GB,

```
~$ sudo docker system df
TYPE          TOTAL   ACTIVE  SIZE    RECLAIMABLE
Images         5       5     2.224GB  1.049GB (47%)
Containers     7       7     1.312MB  0B (0%)
Local Volumes  4       4     50.12MB  0B (0%)
Build Cache    0       0     0B       0B
```

How can I figure out how my server is using 25 GB?
