What OS do you use on low space vps

I have bought one vps with 35 GB from racknerd last to last year. I installed Debian 10 64-bit from panel. My disk space free shown is 30 GB.
I would like to ask what do you guys use OS to save more space of low harddrive space vps.

35GB isn't exactly low disk space, but you could look at Alpine. Or try debloating your installation by installing from ISO or see if they have a "minimal" template that you could use.

Haha, windows will use whole lot, so Debian is the best OS.

This is not photoshopped or anything
It's actually running on 4GB of storage and still has spare space!
what windows?
There is an overwhelming support for Debian as the preferred OS.
Make sure you install the minimal version of the OS. If you're using Debian, it should be Debian 10 64 bit minimal and make sure the swap partition is the size you want.

Wrong question, because AFAIK all linux distros (for server use) as well as all BSDs don't use more than a couple of hundred MB or a bit over a GB (incl. typically needed software). But to answer your question anyway, I use and recommend Alpine or, if a client demands so (a few do), a custom-made (with the help of a friend and BSD guru) Mini-FreeBSD, both of which run happily (incl. server software made for clients) from very small disks (< 1GB) and 128 MB RAM.
The real problem (or "problem") wrt disk space required is the full stack that many (probably most) "need" that is, e.g. LAMP/BAMP/LNMP/BNMP, plus the data both of which often are bloated and without any care about space.

Working that post count up, eh, you spammy little monster?
Is it possible on vps?
i just installed Debian 10 64 bit and my vps shows 30 GB space free. Which is good question where my space is been occupied?
That image I posted on top was after fresh installation of debain 10 and no additional softwares of other things were installed.
