How to get available/free sdcard space in android with adb command

Question

I am trying to get free sdcard space with adb command, but I could not able to achieve. Any suggestions how to get the sdcard space.

Answer 1

Use df, as with any Linux distro. Not all Android devices may have it, but it usually seems to be available.

Answer 2

1. df: Disk space details.

   adb shell df

2. du: Disk space used by the specified files and subdirectories.

   adb shell du

3. df -h: Disk space details in KB/MB format.

   adb shell df -h

4. du -h: Disk space used by the specified files and subdirectories in KB/MB format.

   adb shell du -h

5. For specific folder desk space details.

   adb shell df /system

6. For specific folder and sub-directories desk space details

   adb shell du /system

Answer 3

df -h to find disk usage and to find big files:

du -a <the_dir> | sort -n -r | head -n 20

Answer 4

du | sort -n -r will mess up the hierarchy of folders, so I prefer -t, --threshold=SIZE to set a threshold.

But du on my Android phone doesn't have -t, --threshold=SIZE option

So I found an alternative:

du -m | awk '$1 >= 100'

(Display directories with a size >= 100MB)
