Hi guys I was setting up a timeshift snap and probably selecting the wrong position I received a notification of 0 bytes available on the boot disk. How can I fix? Thank you
Since /boot shows 100% full that implies one would need to clear out unused files from that space to allow for timeshift to function. You also would not be able to do a kernel upgrade while this condition exists.
What is contained in that space?
sudo du -hs /boot/*

Ok thank you @computersavvy for the advice.
In that space there is this:

Please run sudo du -h /boot so one can evaluate better what is using all the space in /boot.
Nothing you posted here seems really out of line with a normal system but the previous post that shows /boot at 100% seems to indicate the problem resides there.
It may be something in a hidden directory that does not show with normal means. The command I suggested earlier would exclude any hidden directories while this one should not.
I note that the image shows a large portion of /boot (63%) may be used by timeshift and the snapshots.
Take a look at
611M /boot/timeshift
Can I delete it? It created itself since I accidentally selected the timeshift location, then replaced it soon after but that folder remained
I don’t know; I am not familiar with timeshift. Anyone else wants to chime in?
You can delete the folder. It contains the timesheet snapshots (failed due to disk space)
