## Too much disk space used
If too much disk space is used by a [single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/) or by `vmstorage` component
at [VictoriaMetrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html), then please check the following:
- Make sure that there are no old snapsots, since they can occupy disk space. See [how to work with snapshots](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-work-with-snapshots)
and [snapshot troubleshooting](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#snapshot-troubleshooting).
- Under normal conditions the size of `<-storageDataPath>/indexdb` folder must be smaller than the size of `<-storageDataPath>/data` folder, where `-storageDataPath`
is the corresponding command-line flag value. This can be checked by the following query if [VictoriaMetrics monitoring](#monitoring) is properly set up:
```metricsql
sum(vm_data_size_bytes{type=~"indexdb/.+"}) without(type)
/
sum(vm_data_size_bytes{type=~"(storage|indexdb)/.+"}) without(type)
```
If this query returns values bigger than 0.5, then it is likely there is a [high churn rate](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/faq/#what-is-high-churn-rate) issue,
which results in excess disk space usage for both `indexdb` and `data` folders under `-storageDataPath` folder.
The solution is to identify and fix the source of high churn rate with [cardinality explorer](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#cardinality-explorer).
## Monitoring
Having proper [monitoring](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#monitoring)
