I have just checked the backup for / and the size does seem to be reported correctly. How would I list the directory(ies) sizes on / please?The steps you posted were fine: "df -klh" is confirming what Mint told you, and that you have very little disk space left on /. This is why I vehemently disagree with advocates of complex partitioning systems and especially separate home partitions - self defeating, backwards, prone to failure. In the modern world do one of the following: 1: single partition SSD (no separate anything, not even /boot - no swap either, 8Gb+ RAM obviates it). In the case of EFI, you will also need a ~1Gb FAT32 EFI partition, that's it. 2: ZFS, BTRFS or LVM as your storage management layer - arbitrarily resizing, snap-shotting and restoring filesystems is nice, I have problems understanding why anyone would wilfully not use this You're going to have to clear up your dangerously full root partition the best you can - usual candidates are old kernels + linux-headers packages littering /boot, crap building up in /var/log and /var/cache and if you've done distribution upgrades between releases, a lot of duplicate/obsolete packages and libraries.
