      I recently attempted to upgrade my netgate machine, but the upgrade failed in the middle. In an attempt to revert back to the previous version, I am having issues with the amount of space. Any help finding the downloaded upgrade file would be greatly appreciated.

        @jecker itโ€™s probably this:
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/zfsbe/space.html

        Just ignore the size shown and delete a few old ones.

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
