Upgrade to F39: Disk Requirements: At least 5633 MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
Dear All,
While running
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39
to upgrade Fedora, I get the following error:
Error Summary ------------- Disk Requirements: At least 5633 MB more space needed on the / filesystem.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Maybe I can delete something from the following, to free up space?

That may not help a lot. You need more space in /
I guess, we need more information, e.g. the output of "df -h“, which Edition at least.

I guess, you installed Workstation, but with a slightly different Harddisk setup?
Your root system is exhausted. That unfortunate.
First thing you should perform a dnf clean all
To delete all downloaded packages so your root filesystem has some space again.
Then use "du -sh *“ in the root directory to finde out, where the most space is used, and then check, if you still need all the files.

comparing sizes/disk layout: care to do a new install with btrfs and subvolumes for / and /home ? subvolumes will share the whole disk space on both mount points.
I guess that would be more future proven ...
P.S. - no idea if there a easier way to convert LVM (?) to btrfs !

Thanks to all who have answered. The command
dnf autoremove
did the trick. (I am sending this message from F39.)

Hear, hear! Snaps are nothing but trouble.
I've seen old snaps consume all space or a server that formerly had about 240 GB of free space.

You’re using 68 out of 69GB of your “/“ filesystem. (i.e the root filesystem). Several people have suggested ways to save some space, but I notice you are also using snaps, and they’re well known for taking up a lot of space because they retain multiple revisions of each app and dependency.
I avoid snaps like the plague so I can’t tell you how to clean up space used by snapd. But I’m sure there’s an Ubuntu wiki that’ll help somewhere.
Hear, hear! Snaps are nothing but trouble.
I've seen old snaps consume all space or a server that formerly had about 240 GB of free space.
Thanks, Jeff: I have just removed all snaps!

The 357G available is a lot more than the less than 6G needed. What am I missing?

better to de-install the elder kernels via
1. uname -a => get's the kernel you're currently running
2. rpm -q kernel-core => all installed kernels included the one you're running
3. sudo dnf remove <copy-paste the output of "2." and there only the kernel-core-packages exclude the one got from output of "1.">
kernel-core is a meta (?) packages what include kernel, kernel-modules , kernel-modules-core, etc.
anyway it wont you get much free space

dnf remove -y $(dnf repoquery --installonly --latest-limit=-1 -q)

Could you please help me?
please run sudo dnf autoremove
it will/should clean old outdated installed packages
and then provide the output of following commands:
1. df -h|grep -v tmpfs 2. du -sch /var/log/journal

Thanks in advance,
Do you have enabled to keep downloaded packages on disk? If yes, you're likely consuming a lot of space there.
Do you have snapshotting enabled on BTRFS? If yes, you may need to delete old snapshots.
Do you have more than two installed kernels? If yes, delete the old ones.
Do you have firmware installed for hardware you do not have? (keepcache=1 in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf) If yes, try removing it.
If you have persistent journal enabled, it may be past time to cull the oldest.
I avoid your current problem by enabling a separate filesystem on /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade just for caching system-upgrade packages.
