Filesystem is 93% full. I need help to make sure I don't screw my Mint up.
by linuxsurfer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A45J)
While I used Linux since 2014, I've never had a filesystem fill up. Mine is 93% full on an HP laptop with Mint 20 installed on a dual-boot. I've spent a few days researching with Bing and Google.
I followed the instructions from this thread, https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ce-4175603355/.
I've never had to delete from a filesystem that I don't work in and I really need an experienced set of eyes to help me see what's wrong and guidance to make sure I don't delete the wrong thing. Following is what I've uncovered so far. I flipped a few steps in troublshooting by accident but it's the step-by-step in the linked thread above.
Thanks in advance.
