      @applesalwaysred what does โ€œdf -hโ€ show?

      Run โ€œdu -hd1 /โ€œ to find the largest directory. Then enter it and repeat.

      Normally deleting a BE would recover quite a bit of space.

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

        @SteveITS All the sub directories except 'run' are 100%

          @applesalwaysred du shows a size not a percentage.

              @applesalwaysred OK, so go into /usr and repeat, until you find the directory with the largest usage, then "ls -l" in it.

              Check /cf/conf/backup and you can delete old backup files if present.

                      Ah a core dump. Those can be pretty big.
