[SOLVED] too many unsuccessful flatpak updates lingered in this directory. It sorted itself out after rebooting the system.

var capacity 11.1 GiB, var usage 10.6 GiB

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/var

    But really, remove what you don’t use and/or stop using flatpak.

        That’s why I didn’t include any privilege escalation, even if someone ran it as is it would fail. But a warning is also appropriate, thanks.

          That doesn’t make it better.

          The first thing a novice user learns is to slap sudo in the front if they don’t have access to do something.

            Nobody puts var on its own partition anymore, it would sill fail.
