I have unexpectedly inherited a MySQL deployment. The server is running low on disk space. Running the query below it looks like infromation_schema has 24,700MB free space. My OS is Ubuntu/Linux. MySQL version 5.7.22. My disk currently has 4% free space available.

SELECT table_schema "database name",
sum( data_length + index_length ) / 1024 / 1024 "database size in MB",
sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 "free space in MB"
FROM information_schema.TABLES
GROUP BY table_schema
order by sum( data_free )/ 1024 / 1024 desc;

Any help into how I can reclaim some of this space?

Side note I have been told there are also 2 slave servers that are no longer synching pointed at this server as their master. Priority #1 is free up disk space and keep this server going. Priority #2 is get replication working again.

fyi-

Might be best to just get a larger hard drive and migrate the data over.
