I am trying to recover according to
but when I issue the pacman command it says no space left on device. All the mounts went well without errors I was able to chroot.
What you may need to do is clear the leftover Pacman cache files to clear up some space.
du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
ā¦ a quick way of clearing this (probably not the recommended way, but itās what I typically use):
rm -rf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*
ā¦ from within chroot. (Iāve just cleared ~23G out of mine! 
)
A bit more system info may be helpful though, e.g. the output of
`inxi -zv8`.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, it helped! I had 14 G in the cache.
After rebooting, my system was fine except it still said there was no space left on device. Plasma was slow. I was able to run filelight from Konsole and had to remove Cyberpunk steam folders 
. Very weird, because df -h did not say any space was missing. Is there something wrong with btrfs?

This is the sledgehammer approach. It could be started milder and also using the foreseen commands for pacman cache cleaning:

It is why I said itās not the recommended approach.
That link is indeed useful as Iāve always had a habit of doing things manually.
Inodes perhaps? Try df -hi
If you are using btrfs it requires special maintenance.
See for example;

My ācleanā abbreviation/alias for a quick cleanup based on my system:
sudo pacman -Sc && pamac clean --build-files && paccache -rvuk0 && flatpak uninstall --unused
