"Low Disk Space on Filesystem root" after installing Axolotl and Podcasts

[dukla2000]

Hi,

please forgive me for making my entry to this forum with this very basic question (after owning the Pinephone (16 GB) for about two weeks and reading the threads here I have come to realise that I am probably way out of my depth).

Welcome. Do not worry about being out of your depth - most of us are! As long as you are ready to learn to swim all is fine!

My problem is as described above: After installing Axolotl and Gnome Podcasts, I get the following error message: "Low Disk Space on 'Filesystem root' The volume 'Filesystem root' has only 716,3 MB disk space remaining." That figure keeps changing and went down to a two digit number. At that point, Axolotl did not start anymore. I deleted everything I could (well, basically all my files) to come to the present 716 MB (Axolotl works again).
.....

OK - so your filesystem on your 16Gb eMMC has mostly filled up. Of course can happen but really shouldn't after just basic usage. As a comparison my 32Gb eMMC with Mobian, Axolotl and a few other bits has 19Gb free - in comparison I would expect you to have 3Gb free.

You seem to be swimming reasonably to see what is taking space: my guess is the flatpak Axolotl installation is more expensive than the way I do it (the . basic commands towards the bottom of the page). Have to rush right now, will be back later, hopefully someone else can help more in the mean time.
