Hi, Newbie setting up a django project using a beginner a/c. I've noticed that my disk space keeps going up, even though I am deleting folders of old, unsucessful setups and old databases as I go. Will space get recycled?

Check /tmp? pip sometimes leaves stuff lying around there. You can tidy up from a Bash console with:

du -hs /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/*

THIS WAS IT!! Half a Gig, 50% of my quota!!! I also found out a lot of space taken by .git (central for github/bitbucket projects, invisible to most humans)

Glad it helped :-) We now have a help page that gives some commands to find other less-than-obvious places that your disk can be being used up.
