I have a problem with Ubuntu and I noticed that my hard disk indicates that it is almost completely full, but when I check the files, I should have plenty of storage space left over.


I ran the command df -h and this is the result of one of the partitions.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p5 110G 104G 363M 100% /


But when I enter Disk Usage Analyzer, it tells me that I am only using 34.4 GB.


Note: This came up after I ran the sudo rm -r command to delete a folder. I have already checked the Trash and it is empty.
