Here is a photo of my Google Collaboratory file explorer
The only folders shown are Colab's default sample_data folder and my Google Drive which is mounted to Collaboratory and it's not supposed to occupy any volume in the collaboratory disk. But my disk is shown half full and I need it to be completely empty. How can I do that?
By default Colab occupies about 28 gb, I think they are the images of the os and the different packages it has preinstalled, like tensorflow, pandas, etc. You can see this also when changing runtime (Runtime Menu -> Change runtime type). If you set for example GPU hardware acceleration, you will have in this case about 300 usable gb, but even in this case the 28 gb are occupied. You can have a look of what is preinstalled clicking on the circled command.
