Your suggestion to run sudo yunohost tools basic-space-cleanup shaved off almost 20GiB, so that’s a help. And thanks for recommending ncdu. It tells me that the big hog is /home/yunohost.app/lemmy/magick, which contains 44,259 files taking 405GiB in total. These files don’t have extensions or discernible filenames; “magick-o6aN5V0h1tB0T_WDGtaIDxgTIeuP0CbC” is one example. I have no idea why they are here taking up so much space. Any ideas?

Specifically, how do I safely and properly clean up the ‘/lemmy/magick/’ folder? Mine contains 44,259 files taking 405GiB in total. That is the vast majority of my humble server’s 466GiB capacity. I am the only user on my instance so I don’t know their source.

    I’m not sure which version of pict-rs it is. The Yunohost package is based on Lemmy 19.11, so I presume the pict-rs version is whichever one normally ships with that. Looking through lemmy-ynh/conf/pict-rs.toml, I see a commented reference to version 0.4.1.

      0.4.1 is pretty old, but the link you provided leads to a manifest.toml that seems to indicate 0.5.17.

      pict-rs introduced temp file cleanup in 0.5.10, but that might not have cleaned up old media if you only recently upgraded.

      from a short look at the repo i didn’t see where /lemmy/magick/ is defined, so i’m not sure if that is indeed the pict-rs temp folder.
