Hi Ralph
Ran the command and it deleted the files. Did a complete re-boot and
checked, it does not seem to have done much in reducing the partition
file size.
Noticed I may have misled you as the Flatpak folders mentioned in my
emails is in the /var/tmp folder.
Should that command be run in that folder (.var/tmp) or did it not matter?
The notice is still coming up saying less than 430Mb free.
If I can't find out what is happening then I'll re-install Mint 19.2
files system into that partition and leave the '/Home' folder in the
other partition.
Glad I made separate partitions for file & home!

Hi Clive,
Left to its own devices, Flatpak doesn't delete some of the files it
has used in the past in case they're needed again. Ask it to get
rid of those explicitly with
flatpak uninstall --unused
and see if that helps.
Ran that command and it came back with question to remove y/n Chose
'n' in case it was not right. programs list were;
all started with 'org.freedesktop.Platform.'
followed by:
.GL.default/x86_64/20.08
.VARPI.Intel/x86_64/18.08
.html5-codecs/x86_64/18.08
./x86_64/18.08
.Local/x86_64/18.08
.Sdk/x86_64/18.08local
.Sdk.Local/x86_64/18.08
7 files to remove - should I?
I would. That command is explicitly to remove things it thinks are
unused. Flatpak downloads and tracks multiple versions of those files
and different programs need different ones. At the moment, nothing
needs the seven it listed.
Would these account for the request for my password while
in Lily /Home folder?
No, I don't have a suggestion on that.
