    When updating get error 28, no space left on device when I know I have space

    I've run into this problem before but can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it other that reinstalling, like I did first time I encountered the error. I've also signature failed errors from ftp.debian and repo.steampowered, I can work those out later, unless they are what is causing the issue.

    Here are screenshots of the results of apt update:
    Screenshot 2021-07-19 17:52:12.jpg

    The results from du commands and df -h

    And df -i (says I cannot up load the pic because there is a limit of 5. I deleted earlier pics, but must've reached my limit)

    Okay I see the screenshots are terribly small and hard to read, here is the copy and paste

    Solved. I went through all directories and found /var/log was holding 350GB of data. I searched the log files and found that 2 of them were over 100GB, deleted, cleared trash, rebooted. Problem solved.
