Mint 21.2
Brave browser indicated there is no space left and suggested I clear some cookies. Brave then locked up. I rebooted the system using the shut down or reboot option. Upon loading, very tiny text appeared that I did not have time to read, followed by regular sized text message indicating 0 bytes were available. I was given an option to look through some files- I know I'm generalizing here; I was given an option to look through some files and when I did, found that Time Shift, a program that creates snap shots of your operating system, Time Shift had filled my Mint partition with 60 gigs of snap shots- leaving no space for the operating system.
I was able to navigate to the Time Shift snap shot folder, however, there is not enough free space to delete the snap shots and reclaim drive space.
At the boot menu, I entered recovery mode but, don't know what to do and I don't want to damage anything further. I'm wondering if it's possible to, from the command line, delete the Time Shift folders, or perhaps there's another way. Create live USB; Boot, and clean up the linux partition on the C: drive?
Thank you for any assistance you may provide,
Arminius.
