I have 19.3 GB ext4 root partition with only 400 MB left, which is not enough to update packages anymore.
This laptop is about five years old and I never had this problem until upgrade to 13.1. I ran out of space immediately after upgrade, a few months ago, and cleaned up everything I could - old kernels, even some rarely used packages. That gave me some 2-3 GB of free space but now it’s full again. Is this usual?
I don’t see any big log files or anything, and this is the top of my du - ah | sort -nr list run on /usr , :

I can change my disk partitioning and resize and move root, or I have unused space at the end of the disk, maybe it’s possible to move some folders there, like help or docs. Or is there something wrong with my system that makes root grow?
