/dev/sda1 100% [SOLVED]

[duder]

I had updates pop up today and started to install them. After a couple minutes I had an error that there was not enough space to install something.
I looked at space and seen /dev/sda1 shows 100%. I am not sure what is in there and what I can delete. I am guessing must have installation stuff.
I do believe I have a bunch of old kernels, not sure if that's it or not.
Thanks Alan

Your / partition is only 11GB in size - if you didn't do much changes since the install I suggest a reinstallation, choosing a bigger / - with automatic partitioning with that 500GB disk I think you should have at least a 30GB / partition - did you do manual partitioning?

That's ~1GB that can be reduced, see e.g. viewtopic.php?p=63477#p63477 and viewtopic.php?p=63481#p63481
You can also reduce the logs to the most recent via journalctl --vacuum, see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/sy ... s_manually

You started wine as root, why? Please don't do that, and remove /root/.wine again.

Awesome, thanks.
I am at 84% and that's after the updates installed.
I did not set up the partitions myself on the installation, I let the system do it.

Just out of curiosity, you installed with what Mageia media? And how much free space was there back then on that disk?
Because I think you should have definitely gotten a bigger / partition, this is why we changed the algorithm for Mageia 5 for automatic partitioning.

The computer came new with windows 8 and its been awhile. I installed Mageia 4 about two years ago.
I think I did a bootable thum drive then installed over the Internet if I remember right.

Thanks again!
