Hi All
Confluence application use a lot of the HD space so how to reduce it, thanks.
Environment:
1. Atlassian Confluence 6.6.14
2. Atlassian JIRA Project Management Software (v7.6.13#76015-sha1:18c5011)
@willie
How large is your instance? How many spaces, pages, blog posts and attachments do you have? How many backups do you have on the server?
All of these things and more contribute to the space the instance will use. Answering the questions above is a start.
Helpful information:
I show you more about my JIRA/Confluence system status, hopefully, these messages are okay for you to check my issue, if it isn't enough please give me more references information and how to find out the system messages. thank you.
1. My OS(ubuntu) only use 32G HD space / Data HD 2T
2. User accounts 250(frequently users 50~100)
3. 1 VM on AZURE included 4 containers (Nginx / Mysql / JIRA / Confluence)
4. Jira/Confluence version / Atlassian JIRA Project Management Software (v7.6.13#76015-sha1:18c5011)/ Atlassian Confluence 6.6.14

@willie So you have a lot of attachments. I am assuming that this is majority of the space being utilized. I would suggest looking at cleaning some of that up. Are there spaces that you have deleted but did not delete the attachments off of the server?
Thank you, @Brant Schroeder , for your response. As you mentioned cleaning it up, could you please provide me with some user guidelines about how to cleaning up it?

@willie I would suggest purging your trash in spaces. This should provide a simple way to clean up pages and attachments.
To permanently get rid of a page, you need to purge it from the trash. That'll mean the page, and all its versions and attachments, are gone for good.
Attachments of deleted pages remain in the database until the trash is purged, after which they're permanently deleted. This means that, before you purge any pages, you should check that the attachments on those pages aren't being used elsewhere. If you're not sure, move those attachments onto another page.
To purge deleted pages:
Select Space settings from the sidebar.
Select Trash from the Manage pages card.
Select Purge for a specific page or Purge All to permanently clear all deleted pages and news items.
The file structure on the server.
By default, Confluence stores attachments in the attachments directory within the configured Confluence home folder. You can go here and remove folders of spaces that no longer exist. Make sure you only delete folders of deleted spaces.

You should also look at confluence backups in the file structure and delete old backups. You can also delete old logs as well.
