HI,
ncdu is a nice tool to scan and list the file system and show disk usage per directory, see https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

Yes but atm i can't install anything, which file i can delete to free at least 500MB or so? Any log that i can delete?

You should still be able to scan with du -h /, just without the ncurses interface of ncdu

Too many files to read via Proxmox shell, i can't use Putty right now because i don't have the publickey to access it.

There are some logs that i can delete without compromise the promox operativity?

Since /var is mounted on a different disk, cleaning up the logs which are under /var/log will not help. Also clearing the apt cache will have no effect.

find / -xdev -type f -size +100Mgives you files larger than 100M, adapt the size to your needs. This should help you locate large files for possible cleanup.

i tryed the command before but it doesn't give any results.

my method of dealing with a full file system:

du -sx /* | sort -n
cd (largest folder)
du -sx ./* | sort -n

until you reach something you can address and remove/move it.

maybe
tune2fs -m0 /dev/md0
frees some bytes for you....

to keep the system working and clean up

^ md1 as I see in the screenshot is root-fs
