Clean up files

Finding current quota

Your quota is shown on MY>  Settings > Personal Info:

You can also check it from the terminal:

# Quota and usage in 1K blocks
$ df ~

# Quota and usage in a short format
$ df -h ~

Note: if your usage is over 95% of the quota, then the current quota might be temporarily increased. In such case you can find your quota in the automatic email notification about high disk usage or on MY as above.
