Disk full with snapshots#

  • Omarchy uses Btrfs as the default filesystem, which allows it to create snapshots of the system. However, if you have a lot of snapshots, it can fill up your disk space. To check how many snapshots you have, you can run the following command:
Terminal window
sudo btrfs subvolume list /
Terminal window
[sudo] password for lch:
ID 256 gen 49759 top level 5 path @
ID 257 gen 49759 top level 5 path @home
ID 258 gen 49759 top level 5 path @log
ID 259 gen 48440 top level 5 path @pkg
ID 260 gen 48440 top level 256 path var/lib/portables
ID 261 gen 48440 top level 256 path var/lib/machines
ID 262 gen 49714 top level 256 path .snapshots
ID 263 gen 49713 top level 257 path @home/.snapshots
Terminal window
sudo btrfs subvolume delete ./snapshots/7
  • Let the system balance the disk to free up space
Terminal window
sudo btrfs filesystem balance start -dusage=50 /

Extra themes#

Look at the Omarchy themes section in the manual for more themes, or you can install themes from GitHub using the following command:

Terminal window
