Hello, everyone. Recently I finally decided to update my system, and right after the update ran into a problem: before update baobab showed ~22 GB avaliable space, and after the update it went down to around 8.

Here’s some info, that might be relevant:

df output:

/dev/nvme0n1p1    364544    89768    274776  25% /boot/efi
tmpfs             788696      104    788592   1% /run/user/1000

du -h / shows 23G, du -h /home — 13G. Overall I have 54.3G disk space, so (23+13)/54 doesn’t add up to 93%

sudo lsof | grep deleted | wc -l shows 8433 deleted files that are still in use.

I also tried booting with liveUSB and running ‘check’ on partition via GParted.

I did some research online:

I tried some methods to locate what consumes all the space, but couldn’t figure it out. Also, the problem seems to be getting worse (right now baobab shows only ~5GB avaliable space). Can you help me find the source of the problem (and ideally also help me solve it :) )?

    Running sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove was the first thing I tried.

    I am not sure, how do I interpret output of apt-cache stats?
