[Solved] Cancelled a Timeshift snapshot still it took a lot storage

[halcyon junco]

tried sudo rm -rf /root/.local/share/Trash but no change
cancelled because it was still scanning for 2hours

please tag me when you reply

it's probaby in temp folder somewhere or /Timeshift or /TS

install Bleachbit, NOT the flatpak vvrsion, run the root-mode version and clean all temporary files and caches

[halcyon junco]

I tried this but nothing happened

[halcyon junco]

okay

[halcyon junco]

not worth it

[halcyon junco]

here, the mid way deleted snapshot, atleast took 20gbs. I am sure about it

[gray bronze]

launch Disk Usage Analyzer, and use it to track down where the space is heavily being used.

@halcyon junco ^^ were you able to locate the excess and delete it?

[halcyon junco]

I havent done yet, will do and let you know

[next tusk]

the logical place to look would be the destination wherein the snapshot would have been created. What is the root file system?

[halcyon junco]

Yes and I went there and deleted

thanks friends
