I have had the pi running for only a week or so. Hardened it up a bit, installed nextcloud (storing it's data on an external USB HDD) and noticed yesterday that the SD card is full.
I uninstalled a load of stuff to free up some space and it's filling up again!
Please help me work out why/what is filling it up and help me stop it :-)
Here are some details: My Pi Specification Model: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 2015 SD Card: 16GB with NOOBS so 14GB partition for the OS OS: Raspbrian Jessie
My biggest question is why the discrepancy between df saying I've used nearly al the 14GB and ncdu saying I've only got 3.7GB of files. Here are some screenshots that might illuminate things:
Ah - can't do more than 2 links. I'll see if I can do the next one by text:

This shows the swap file being the biggest at 100MB.
I'm at a loss at the moment. I hope you can help.
Thanks
