You have 2 big directories:

./trans/data

./trans/log

These are the transports, which were either transported into you system, or created to be exported. You can add a new partition and move the content of trans there and mount it to /usr/sap/trans afterwards ....

you can delete the file *.sap in both /data and /cofiles

and remove the imported SP's from /EPS/in

I will give some space

Hi Koushal,

Execute the below command to get which directories occupying the most space

du -sh * | sort -nr

If /usr/sap/<SID> is occupying the most space check for the core file in the work directory and try to reset old trace files if not required ( using SM50)

or try to delete old stat files from ST03N

If /usr/sap/trans is occupying the most space then try to delete already applied support packs from /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in directory

I´d run a small script like

cd /usr/sap
for i in `ls`; do du -h; done

Then check the output and step in to the directory with the biggest size and run the same again
