Hello, First, I LOVE my Umbrels…but have an issue with one of the 3 Umbrel nodes I have. It won’t start up (since June 2022), just getting to it now. Seems to be a disk space issue, as I see plenty of “\*\*\* Disk space is too low!” and “No space left on device” messages. Storage device is the recommended 1TB SSD ( Crucial MX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD) Not sure how to resolve it. At the time, I remember installing all the available apps on it (successfully), backing up the channel file (successfully) and then trying to upgrade to the latest OS version. It never successfully restarted and gave the “Error: System service failed” message with the orange Umbrel logo, which is where I am at now. Is there any way of freeing up disk space on the drive via SSH, maybe deleting some of the apps? Would that help? Thanks for any assistance.

One solution… get a bigger SSD. Then clone the old SSD to the new larger SSD. There is a guide [here](http://community.umbrel.com/t/guide-cloning-or-migrating-ssd-hdd-windows/2509)
