Fedora: Low disk on Filesystem root












0















I'm running a Fedora Workstation VM on Oracle VirtualBox. After using the VM for about a month now, I get a "Low disk on filesystem root" popup when I login. The Disk Usage Analyzer shows this:Disk Usage



I ran this to check for large files



find / -type f -exec ls -s {} ; | sort -n -r | head -20


And got these results:



[root@localhost ~]# find / -type f -exec ls -s {} ; | sort -n -r | head -20

          The (virtual) partition in question is 5.7 gigabytes, which is not that large for a working instance of Fedora.



          The simplest thing would be to increase the size of the partition.
