Check Real Size[edit]
You must change directory into the correct folder first. For your home folder. Depending on which one you want to check.
cd ~
Or.
cd /var/lib/libvirt/images/
Run.
du -h Whonix-Gateway ™-*.qcow2
Should show something like this.
2.5G {{gateway_product_name}}-*.qcow2
Check Apparent Size[edit]
Run.
du -h --apparent-size Whonix-Gateway ™-*.qcow2
Should show something like this.
