My root is taking up 42.5 GiB, which doesn’t seem right. Running du -cha --max-depth=1 / | grep -E "M|G" yields

My home is mounted on a different partition, and for some reason timeshift mounts my home folder again in /run, so taking out 220G from the calculation yields 75G. Clearing the pacman cache yielded me a few GiB, but it’s still sitting above 30 GiB. I do some development, but this isn’t normal, is it?
That’s quite a lot for /var ─ mine only takes up 3.2 GiB with an empty pacman cache. Perhaps you should investigate what’s taking up so much space in there.
Looks like I have 4.1G of journals… can I remove some of them? The rest seem to be miscellaneous configs and applications each taking a nibble out of root.
