does anybody know how I can empty my boot drive?
filelight shows inaccurate results and my system is screaming at me for only having 28GB over 256GB left
using nvidia-open btw
UPDATE: I ran filelight again and somehow it now displays more accurate info from my understanding
Even though it’s still full on every other end:
Filelight now shows a different picture that makes more sense
Last time it was inflated by flatpak linking files to apps in it’s sandbox
I think i’m going to do a reboot to make sure it isn’t some sort of fluke that popped up later.
UPDATE 2: did a reboot, unchanged
Hey,
you can try running sudo du -sh /var/* | sort -rh to get better insight, as /var contains everything that isn’t managed by ostree. You can drill down afterwards either via GUI app or by amending the above command by adding deeper path.
On a different note, are you sure you do not have extra pinned images (looking at your /sysroot folder size)?
You can check with rpm-ostree status - usually you should have 2, unless you pinned some more.
really? so anything outside /var is probably a duplicated illusion that fooled almost everyone?
after running the command it all made more sense now!
sudo du -sh /var/* | sort -rh

On another note, is it bad if I used up my actual remaining space while the rest of the apps think otherwise? (as in using WAY more than 28GB left)
Yep!
I did, just two!
