Why is there not much space for my Ubuntu?

  • 772

I have a dual system: Windows 7 + Ubuntu. The Windows came with my laptop and I installed Ubuntu without Wubi...

My total filesystem capacity: 303.2 GB, I just do not understand why there is not much space for Ubuntu. Here is a screenshot of Disk Usage Analyzer, where The 新家卷 under media is a disk mounted:

Here are the screenshots of Disk Utility, I even do not know which disk is for Ubuntu

I can delete many films to save space under Windows, but it seems that there is nothing to do with Ubuntu... Could anyone help? Thank you very much

Edit1: As requested, here is the result of df -h:

...@ubuntu$ df -h

    I am pretty sure your Ubuntu is installed using Wubi - there are no Linux partitions on the drive. And there is a strange root-level folder /host, which is absent when Ubuntu is installed on a separate partition.

    All your Linux files take about 11Gb and they all live in some file on your Windows partition (I see root.disk in the left pane - is that it?)

    My understanding is that Wubi disk/file does not grow dynamically. See this for some advice on how to migrate your /home directory to a separate "disk" (or into a separate file) to get some additional space.
