Why is One MN Different size on VPS ?

Much better but still 4.5 Gb bigger than the other server which is one year newer and had no update

great work though guys i can almost live with that as its enough room to update MN
 
You could try tracking it down, "du -hd 1 /" will check the root file system (-d 1 means down one level ie. just /var , not /var/log etc.), see which folder is significantly bigger and check that (ie. "du -hd 1 /home") but checking the root folder gives the hard drive a lot of work to do and there might be a simpler answer... have you just updated to 12.1? If so, did you copy over the .dash folder or just install? The data folder changed from .dash to .dashcore so if you just installed without moving around folders then you may have 2 copies of the full data folder including the blockchain, a new one in .dashcore and the old one in .dash. If you have and if everything is running properly then you can just delete the .dash folder as it's no longer used.

the bigger server is showing a 3.9gb /lib entry this does not exist on the smaller server :)

That's a bit strange, /lib will exist on both but 3.9G is an awful lot of difference. Have you tried "du -hd 1 /lib" yet? The only thing I can think of is you've update every kernel and /lib/modules is fit to burst with different versions! If it is then you can remove them using apt but it would be a long process with my directions, I'm sure there's a simple way of flushing them out but I'd have to read up on it.
 
That will be it :)
how do I delete lol

Lol :) It might even have more free space than the newer server when it's done! Apt rocks, really powerful and well worth getting familiar with. When you have it on a desktop system going back to updating each bit of software individually is painful.
 
yeah thats worked great and yeah it's smaller than the other now and the MN is still running ,,,,, what a wicked crash course in basic lynux clean up thanks again guy's
