Even more info; lokking into the /var/tmp folder at the end are 5
folders all starting 'systemd-private-' then a long line of numbers
letters followed by either:
colord.hex numbers
ModemManager. service.hex numbers
rtkit-daemon. service.hex numbers
systemd-resolived. service.hex numbers
systemd-time syncd.hex numbers
No details on number of files included but all dated since 15 Jan his
may be since the notifications started.
Any help?

Adding to the last reply. The tmp folder has 11.3GB of data - is that
a copy of the whole file system as it's certainly a large proportion
and all Flatpack....... folders. See original email for sample.
If that can all be deleted then that would put me back to about what
the original file system was.
Taking over 25 mins to copy so will have a cuppa!

Hi Keith
Thanks. I've taken a copy as 'Root' into my /home/copyvartmp folder;
had to enter each folder a root. It took a long time to copy the
267538 files!
When done will delete and see what happens but what's putting them in
there? And how can I stop it happening or doing an auto delete?
Still waiting si will look at other comments from DLUG now.

I suspect you mean '/var/tmp'
You're unlikely to need anything in there. Take a look first, but
probably
safe to delete.
If you want to take a copy just in case, you could copy to somewhere on
/home (but delete it later if you don't need it).
