Drive space clogged Linux Ubuntu 16.04?
Installed Ubuntu server 16.04 In the control panel,
it
shows that ssd is being clogged
For
1 day of downtime after installation, instead of ~ 600 MB, it became more than
1 GB ssd?
This was when the panel showed that almost all 10GB were occupied.
Now, 12 hours after a clean installation, ~600mb was still the same

Ubuntu has a utility called Disk Usage Analyzer. Go to the Dash menu and type this string in the search to quickly find this program. Run and see what files gobbled up the place. Very visual. As you find what it is, you can think about where they come from. 95 percent are logs. Most likely some crazy program pours logs onto the hard drive.
du -sh /*
Shows how much each directory occupies. We go into suspicious places and look there.
