[unmetalmilitia4]

I looked at other threads but couldn't find what I was looking for. My disk space suddenly fulls up for reasons I don't know. Is there a way to clean it up? Here's the

Code: Select all

df -h

output is anyone's wondering:

Have you checked out "Disk Usage Analyzer"? If you find significant storage space occupied by files that aren't created by yourself explicitly, you may post where they are and what names are them. Then we may be able to suggest how to deal with them.

It seems like timeshift was keeping much of the space. I cleaned the old snapshots and disk is free once again.

I checked that guide before but it didn't help much. Still thanks for the suggestion!

Take a look at your Timeshift setup. You can set it to not save so many snapshots. And not to make so many in the first place!

I also find it helpful to store my snapshots on an external hard drive with plenty of space, so that my internal drive doesn't get so full.
