I was coding my site on Apache Server. Suddenly an error came and I got the warning




This computer has only 1.3 GB remaining.




I knew that this was because of the log file in /var/log/apache2/subins/error.log.



I opened the folder in root and the file size of the log was 17 GB. I deleted the error file. I went on to the root trash folder to delete the log file permanently. I deleted the files and info folder in the 'root trash' folder. So I had erased the root trash folder. But things got wrong. I still get the warning




This computer has only 1.3 GB remaining




I think I did the wrong way to empty root trash.



I used Disk Usage Analyzer to find the log file to permanently delete . But the software didn't showed the file. What happened to the folder I deleted in 'root trash'?



Here's the screenshot of Disk Usage Analyzer after the search.
enter image description here



UPDATE: Now my computer memory is 1 KB after I run the web page again in which the error showed.



Output of df -T -H:



Filesystem    Type     Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on

I rebooted my computer as told by gajdipajti



I restarted my computer and the problem is solved. I got the lost memory back. Now I have 19.6 GB free as before the memory increase of log file.



So I think the solution is Restart the computer.
