Attached is the block of the icons in i3
What does the one in red saying 2.4G stand for?? Why is it in red??
Thank you
It means your root directory (/) only has 2.4gib of space left. Did you make that partition manually?

hmm
that’s strange
i’ll try working out why.
I don’t remember how i partitioned the disk, I guess I used the the automatic installer if there was one - it is a 250 NVMe disk dedicated only for EndevourOS.
Cheers
somhow i have endevouros on /
then there are three volumes unmounted
when the three volumes are mounted they see to run in /run/media/my-user-name/and-a-very-long-number-like-this:3a91cca2-8424etc
eh of these volumes seem to have something on
strange
any advice??
What does
df -hT
say ?
[sherabk@EndevourOS ~]$ df -hT

And also this if it is helpful?
[sherabk@EndevourOS ~]$ fdisk -l | grep Disk

[sherabk@EndevourOS ~]$ sudo !!

That is effectively what the red icon is telling you.
I would think that 30 G for a / partition should be enough for an install.
You must have tons of software and perhaps flatpak and stuff installed to fill that space up.
You could look into you /var/cache/pacman/pkg. If it hasn’t been cleaned up, it tends to occupy gigabytes of space.
Look at the following pages for some tips on how to cleanup your filesystem:

When doing disk analysis some things seems like they take a lot of space.
e.g /var/cache/pacman takes 9GB
or /home/sherabk/protonmail-bridge/src is a 1GB of which src is 819.7MB
or /home/sherabk/.cache/yay takes up 6.7 mostly on yay
and I don’t feel I have tons of software.
But I begin to suspect I do something wrong each time I do a system update and press enter enter enter …
You have been hoarding a lot of packages in your cache. 
thanks

yeah…

Just run sudo paccache -rk2 as a first step - this will keep only 2 versions of cached pacman apps. It’s a part of maintenance on an Arch-style system, as updates happen so frequently (and old versions can be re-acquired if necessary). This would qualify as a good start! 
btw - under pressure, you could keep only one (or even none!) if you wanted - but hopefully you will identify/move other stuff by then…
Thank you - got me good few extra Gb!
Cheers
What i’d like to understand is: what are all these other volumes?(presently unmounted(as I unmounted them))
looks like you do a manually partition on install? as I see /home and / on different partitions?
lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,FSAVAIL,FSUSE%,MOUNTPOINTS | eos-sendlog
could be the other partitions are leftover from what was installed before…

Than you very much - clever command
maybe its time for reinstall
I don’t remember creating all these volumes during install(beside home)
cheers
@wisdomlight either start posting usable data or I am not sure how we are supposed to help you.
