sudo apt autoclean or (more aggressively) sudo apt clean are possibilities to get a lot of disk space back on Ubuntu systems.

They just delete downloaded package files that are not really necessary once the package is installed.

Thanks, Ive tried those already. I’m just not sure whats using so much space. everything ive read is the 40 gb should be good… and i have twice the space on my relay and its still filling up

$ du -h -d 1 / 2> /dev/null
76G /opt
4.0K /srv
5.5G /usr
1.6M /run
16K /lost+found
0 /dev
13M /etc
4.0K /media
4.0K /cdrom

2.4G /var
76K /tmp
0 /proc
16G /home
4.0K /mnt
108G /

looks like opt is massive at 76 gigs. anyone else having this issue?

I suppose your cardano-node has its chain in there?

Is it possible that you have it there twice (from a failed or old installation or something like that)? It should only take around 40 GiB at the moment.

du -h /opt | sort -h would give you the largest folders in opt sorted by size with the largest at the bottom. This could give a hint.
