Where can I look to delete a few files, will anything in root help or do I
have to be more specific? Better yet, how to fix this? It looks like I could
take some space from "home", home2 is another hard drive with some backup
files on it.
You have to go through your packages, and find something to delete.
Or, I have about 300 megabytes in /usr/lib64/libreoffice. That's something
that's surely not needed when the system boots, and can be moved somewhere
else.
