Hi Andre
Thank you for your reply.
What df and du command can help me to find largest files? I am not so familiar with those commands.
Thanks.

Subject: Ubuntu machine with VMware workstation 16 pro always has small free space even after increasing disk space
Hi, experts!
I am having trouble with my Ubuntu machine I created using VMware workstation pro (v16.0).
When I've created it first, I set the size as 100 GB. And I've been working on docker project inside it as a developer. but after some time, I've noticed that the free space of the Ubuntu has become very small.
So I expanded the size of the machine and increased the disk size by repartitioning with gparted. I increased it to 200GB.
However, after some time again, I've noticed the free space has become small again. What I only do in the machine is to working with docker. So I've tried to remove all docker containers, but it reduces only about 30 GB.
What is continuously taking up the machine space? Is there any solution to resolve it? It is very serious problem to me, so if anyone can help me with it, I would be really appreciated.
My main OS is win10.
Ubuntu version: 20.04.2.0
Vmware workstation: 16.0.0
Thanks.
