Storage keeps growing - user641 - 03-06-2022
I noticed that after a few weeks after an fresh install the storage of phone keeps growing without adding new files, until the point I keep receiving full storage alerts, I have around 26GB of music and always around 6-8 GB of free space. The only thing I am constantly downloading are podcasts episodes, but after some time the old episodes get deleted automatically.
Someone has any tip for that problem?

In /var/cache/apt you might find the deb files of installed software. What is the size? Check it with
du -hs /var/cache/apt

here's the output:
72M /var/cache/apt

Looks like you need to check it directory by directory
cd /
sudo du -hsx ./* | sort -h
change to the directory which is unexpected large/big and repeat the "sudo du -hsx ./* | sort -h" command

If you don't know, there's a TUI utility called ncdu, it should be available in whatever distro's repository.

I'll try that, thanks!

Did you check the logs/journal of your system ? It can fill a couple of Gio. It did consume a lot of space in my system over time.
journalctl --disk-usage
Then you can easily trim the journal with different strategies:
journalctl --vaccum-size=BYTES
journalctl --vaccum-files=NUMBER
journalctl --vaccum-time=TIME

It was just a matter of rebooting twice after the first install with the FDE image.
