Insufficient disk space on datastore in service console

Insufficient disk space on datastore in service console:-

Errors:- There are errors during the remediation operation. Insufficient disk space on datastore 'service console'

Use below service console commands to troubleshooting this problem:-
1. df
2. du -h - -max-depth=1 (To check which directory is consuming max. disk space, you will come to know which directory is consuming max. space. For example- vmimages is consuming space is gb and that's the culprit of this issue)

3. cd /vmimages

4. ls

5. cd tools-isoimages

6. ls --l

7. rm RHEL4.7-X86_64-ES-DVD.iso (Remember, this is where the VMware tools images are placed. We need to be more disciplined while removing ISOs from here)

8. df (see root space utilization came down to 31% after deleting RHEL4.7-X86_64-ES-DVD.iso file !)

This is how you can look for other filled partitions and folders as well.
