i tried timeshift, didnt work, tried bleach, didnt work, tried finding the files, they are either in /home or /run i think, and / or in private/encrypted - again no clue what happend here or what to do, trying to look for answers online, so far found none.

read this first
Clear systemd journal
On any server, the logs can start to add up and take considerable amount of disk space.

These are from my own notes....I had the same experience on my own pc
I have made the commands on bold
.I ran (at 16:30 same day) : sudo systemctl disable --now syslog.socket rsyslog.service
and...
sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-journald.service
Got a warning : Warning: Stopping systemd-journald.service, but it can still be activated by:
systemd-journald.socket
systemd-journald-dev-log.socket
systemd-journald-audit.socket
now I will delete both kern and syslog....and see what happens
August 27....215GB free....(14.9% Full)...appears to be consistent
Note today...May 2nd 2024......215GB free was perfect, and still is
