sudo systemctl restart mysql

Now that MySQL has restarted and is enforcing password authentication, you can log in to MySQL using the new root password you set earlier.

When you run the df -h command, you might see output similar to the following:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        40G   25G   15G  63% /
udev            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           384M  1.2M  383M   1% /run
/dev/sda2       100G   50G   50G  50% /home

By following this tutorial, you should be able to efficiently identify the largest files on your Ubuntu server. This information can help you manage disk space and make informed decisions about file storage and deletion.

For further optimization, consider creating a script that automates this process and sends reports to your email or logs the output for regular monitoring.
