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
Do a backup first.
I don’t use Bazzite, but you probably have Disk Usage Analyzer installed. If not, it is on flathub. This will show you where your space is being used, and you can drill down into folders. From there, you can decide what to delete.

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!
