If you can, show people actual command outputs, it'll make it easier to
help.
Do you have any flex with LVM or are your filesystems directly on block
devices? e.g.
root@fedora:~# pvs; vgs; lvs
Review your mounts/filesystems, e.g.:
root@fedora:~# lsblk

zram0 252:0 0 8G 0 disk [SWAP]
nvme0n1 259:0 0 953.9G 0 disk

Understand where your space is being consumed on the / device. Don't use
'-h' so you can sort easily, use 'x' so as to limit your 'du' to a single
device. e.g.
root@fedora:~# du -xk / | sort -n -k1 | tail -20
1480504 /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/azure
1561480 /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2024-04-27-13:17:11.106624-89698

33858724 /var/lib/libvirt
44206592 /var/lib
49862812 /var
65976164 /
(Optional, `du -xk / | sort -n -k1 | tac` if you prefer your output the
other way round...)
Next, is any of that stuff you don't need? So in my example, I could look
at my libvirt images, or flatpacks (which I will, because I'm not
specifically using any, to my knowledge.)
Do you have logs you can rotate/archive from /var (if /var's on your /
drive rather than its own block device / partition.)
Do you have any Yum cache lying around from old major version upgrades?
What's on the filesystem that *isn't* owned by a package, should it be
there?
