Hi, So I notice something has been eating up my hard disk space lately. But I didn’t pay attention to it. So yesterday it display that I have 0 space left. Then everything start freezing so I have to shut it down with the power button. This morning I try logging in then it frozes. It just get stucked there. I’ve tried to several times now… it’s still the same.
So I got into tty
Sudo pacman -Syyu
It returns
error: failed to synchronize all database ( invalid url for server)
sudo pacman -Scc
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5
sudo pacman -Syyu
I got an error after the last command
error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid url for server)
you did the 3 commands i posted ?
Yes I did
please post
pacman-mirrors -G
and
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
use the three backticks / preformatted text and paste it inside this
pacman-mirrors -G
returns stable
I ran the second command but there is no way to get that pasted here
use
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width > /tmp/inxioutput.txt
this will create a file inxioutput.txt in the temporary folder.
open /tmp/inxioutput.txt with an editor and from there you can copy the text to here. you don’t need to delet this txt-file because everything in /tmp is deleted with shutting down / rebooting your computer next time.
This is the normal behavior when the root filesystem is full.
Boot up from the live USB/DVD/CD, open up a terminal window and issue the following commands… 
sudo su -
manjaro-chroot -a
paccache -rvk0
This will clean out your package cache and free up some disk space. After that you can try safely rebooting…
exit
systemctl reboot
Make sure you remove the live USB/DVD/CD in time, and see whether you can now log in.

all your drives are almost full loaded. drive 1 is at 95% , drive 2 is at 88%.
you don’t have any space left and you should solve this first.
as long as you’re running on empty with your free disk space you’ll run in trouble anyways. probably this might be the cause but nevertheless until you fixed it you’ll be in trouble.
How can I delete my files since I can’t login? Knowing the right files to delete from the terminal will be really hard
I gave you the answer to that already. 
So I need to create a bootable Manjaro USB right
Well, most people keep one handy at all time, even if only for repairing your installed system. So yes, you have to create a live USB/DVD/CD, or have someone do it for you.
Thank you. I will do that.
There’s usually one or two causes of a full root partition. Either there’s too many Timehift snapshots, because it hasn’t been configured properly, or too many app tar files in paccache. Have a look first at at:
sudo du / -chd1 --exclude={/dev,/proc,/sys,/run/user}|sort -h
Apart from /usr which is should be the largest directory of several GBs, any other directories listed of a similar or larger size like /var, might need investigating. In that case look at:
du -ch /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*|sort -h
I would suggest if the total is more than 4 GB it needs pruning.
