No reboot required, either for that command or the suggestions below. To measure the amount of disk free, a df / df /home etc, as appropriate, naming the filesystem's mount point, before and after the command will show the change. > Should that command be run in that folder (.var/tmp) or did it not matter? No, the command can be run anywhere and the space it cleared wouldn't normally be freed on rebooting so it would have made some improvement, even if it's too slight to notice. > The notice is still coming up saying less than 430Mb free. Have you tried the normal sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove to clean up downloaded Mint package files? > 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. It will likely just fill up again in time. Best to pursue the cause. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2021-02-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
