I’m betting the root of this problem is on how I originally installed the system but I would like another opinion. Or several.

Running Mint.

After analyzing the disk usage, the folder where Thunderbird is installed is completely full. I have four separate accounts in it but a single one is responsible for taking all the space available, through the imap/sent folder, which makes no sense for me, as I send relatively few messages compared with all the messages I receive.

I already considered just purging the program from my system and completely reinstall it but if I’m going to do that I’m better off doing a fresh system installation.

The system has two disks: a SSD running the system core and a HDD for the home partition. I opted to keep the system core on the SSD to speed up booting (and it worked) and used the HDD for storage because. I prefer HDDs for user files, for longevity reasons. The biggest mistake I made here was not using LVM on the disks.

Any thoughts and criticism on this is welcome.

Thank you in advance.

    What is “a disk scan”? Can you either copy the input/output of the command or take screenshots? This is too vague to be of much use for debugging.
