Hi @VisiKDE,
Let’s see if we can find out. Please provide the output of:
free --human
As well as
df --human-readable
When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.
Instead of like this:
Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.
For more information, please see:

What’s a “backtick”?
I interpreted as … which how example appears to me
… where you write your posts, there is a menu in the top row of that editor window
with several symbols
for “quote”, “bold”, “italic”, “hyperlink”, “blockquote”, “preformatted text”
the last two of which you’ll need the most
“preformatted text” in this case here
hover the mouse and you’ll see what they mean, if that is not obvious from the symbol
… highlight the text (mouse) and then click the symbol
watch the right side (preview) as you do this …
Is it really that difficult to figure out? 
your output wasn’t that badly unreadable - but with other output, proper formatting can really make a world of difference
properly formatted, you will see it here just like you see it in your own terminal, where the output came from

your disk is full
depending on the filesystem you use on that disk
you may be able to extend the capacity available to regular users by (at max.) 5 %
with the:
tune2fs …
command
if the file system is ext4 (or any of the ext variety)
… it’s full - move/delete stuff …

nvme0n1 is where manjaro is, along with 650g of 953g of files
sda1 is a 1t secondary hdd which I tried to install fedora on, it isn’t mounted
There is nothing of value on it
I would like to use it for backup, but broke my system, the last time I messed with it, the mount point was wrong
Installing fedora let me have access to nvme0n1 & manjaro again, I’ve been using it like this for some months
I have no idea what that might mean.
What is it that you want to do, right now, but cannot?
I would like to Connect an external drive, so I can backup, before
Making sda a 2nd operating system, with my backup on it
When I look at dolphin devices copy the properties:
/dev/nvme0n1p1
/run/media/garlo/dev/sda1 listed as 1g
Then the is fedora live on the rest of sda & not mountable
But /dev/sda is just 1 GB ins size - you cannot really install an OS there.
If you want to delete the stuff that is currently on it, but cannot
(how do you know - what sort of response do you get when you try to delete ?)
then just reformat the device
or use sudo (root rights) to remove whatever is on there.
I still seem to have no idea of what you actually want to do and what your problem with doing that is. 
I want to mount an external device & backup
When I look at KDE partition manager
sda has 2 partitions
sda1 is 1g formated ext4 960m used mounted
sda2 is 902g formatted btrfs 6g used not mounted
I can select the timeshift file on sda1, delete is grayed out
No idea why external stuff is mounting on sda, not the main nvme0n1 drive or how to fix make it more normal
If I reformat or delete sda, it will delete grub2, leaving me unable to boot
I do not see that
in what you have posted so far.
There is just one /dev/sda1 with ~1 GB in size (which is full)
no /dev/sda2
and your system / (root) is on /dev/nvme0n1p1
That is what I see.
Here’s best I can remember is how I got here
I shot myself in the foot several times
I was trying to make a sym link from the main system to sda when I 1st set up this computer up in 2019
Some time later I realized that sda wasn’t being used
the system worked, but no access to sda, didn’t care as nvme wasn’t full
Took another crack at it after some time, by changing the mount point sda & broke the bootloader
unsuccessfully installed fedora, but somehow reinstalled a bootloader
Again didn’t care, had a working system
Some time passed
I was trying to create a new backup, timeshift was broke when python2 had issues
Gave up on backup utilities I couldn’t get them to work
Did a manual back up of content [unison]
Some time passed, I plugged in a sd card from a camera, got present error
I have folders with the same name on both drives, which makes it even more confusing
Back to the problem at hand
How do I switch the mount point for external devices from the secondary sda1 to nvme0n1 where it belongs ?
or delete any of the files on sda1 without borking my system?
or install a bootloader on nvme where it should be? also minus bork
I still have no clue what the problem is.
Your system is on the nvme disk
and /dev/sda1 is an external device, mounted by some rules
(probably set in /etc/fstab)
to /run/media/garlo
But somehow the bootloader is also on the extenal disk (and only there)?
I give up at this point.
I simply am incapable of understanding the problem.
Perhaps provide your system information (inxi) as is recommended.
Someone else will be able to help then.
