How to free up space on the / filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Everyone:

I have a problem upgrading to Fedora 41. After I download all the
packages and import the keys, it's telling me I need around 5 GB more
space on the / filesystem. The / system is on a partition that has only
50 GiB total, and 395.2 MiB free. (I use the GiB and MiB symbols
deliberately.) Specifically it says I need to find 4437 MB on that
system. If I have to repartition, I understand that I might as well do a
fresh install. My data is safe enough - it's on a completely different
physical device, mounted as /crypt - and another petition on the "root
device" is present with 47.4 GiB free (there's nothing on it but the
contents of /home). But I can't remember half the stuff I installed from
non-core repositories like rpmfusion, and if I have to install from
scratch, I'll lose a lot of applications. (The kernels are on /boot,
which is a 1.0 GiB partition that has more than 500 MiB free.) How can I
free up that extra space (say, 5GiB for good measure) without having to
reformat the root device for a fresh install?
