not enough space on the usb stick for an update

[Eisi2005]

Hello,

I have been running my server for 10 years now and back then I used a 1 GB USb stick. It was always sufficient, but now I wanted to do an update and it tells me I have too little space. Over the years a lot has accumulated there. But I'm not sure what I can and can't delete. The following folders are on my flash drive

config
custom
EFI
logs but empty
previous
syslinux
unmenu

and a lot of files in the root, the largest of which are bzfirmware and bzroot.

Could I empty previous as this is the largest folder?

You can always use the Manual upgrade process as I do not think the GUI based one will work with that small a flash drive.

 

having said that the unmenu folder is a holdover from Unraid v5, and I suspect the ‘custom’ one probably is as well so could go.    The ‘logs folder can always safely be deleted.   The ‘previous’ folder can also be deleted as long as you do not want the GUI to offer the option to revert to previous release (which you could still do manually)

thanks for the quick reply, I will first try to clean up the folders. There is another folder called packages there are many .txz files like well openvpn pycrypto python tcl and so on. i think these are all old files too ?
