Help freeing up disk space

Went to upgrade to 26.07 (from 26.03.1) on my 6100 and the update failed with "System update failed!" no other debug output. I then noticed an Alert stating "pkg: "out of space" returned error code 3".

To the shell:

Looks like this is a 16G device, factory install I've not blasted it and re-installed or anything:

@dr.diesel do you have multiple ZFS snapshots/boot environments from previous upgrades, 16G should be more than enough?

And while you are at it, check the eMMC health (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/disk-lifetime.html#emmc).

Wow thank you, didn't even know those were there, that fixed me up.

Also thanks for the suggestion:

[26.03.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/: mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcsd0rpmb | egrep 'LIFE|EOL'
eMMC Life Time Estimation A [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_A]: 0x02
eMMC Life Time Estimation B [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_B]: 0x02
eMMC Pre EOL information [EXT_CSD_PRE_EOL_INFO]: 0x01

Looks like I'm in good shape.
