Try elevating to root, first
sudo -i
du -h --max-depth=1
This is what comes up.
28K ./.config
12K ./.cache
300K ./snap
64K ./.local
12K ./.dbus
432K .
Where are all those Snap Packages kept?
In the meantime:
Clean:
journalctl --vacuum-size=100M
Then set the max size:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Ad the line: SystemMaxUse=100M
hit ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to save the configuration.
Then restart the service
service systemd-journald restart

So I did all this today when dev/sdc2 was up to 64 gigs. It went down to 61 gigs.
Since I've had this problem with a previous distro, PopOs, I opted to go for the paid route. I'm more curious at this point to see if this can be fixed. I emailed support a couple days ago and so far only an automated response. I don't imagine I'll be hearing anything for at least a week or 2 at this point.
Ubuntu, as I mentioned before, has had this issue going back at least 7 years. Linus tech has brought some light to linux once again this past month and this is the sort of thing that crops up. I'd love to use linux, but you these problems that crop up that are very difficult for noobs to fix. How this is still happening in current distros when the problem existed at least 7 years ago is.... well I don't know. It's something.
All suggestions and tips appreciated. Thanks for the help. I will get to the bottom of this one day.
I agree with you. This is very frustrating.
That should have been more effective than that...
Above, it says sdc5.
Are you referring to a different drive now, or is more than one drive affected?
Can you layout what each drive or partition does?
For example, is one drive Root, another /home, another /boot and so on?
It's just sdc2, I just entered the wrong number. It's installed on it's own drive on my PC. There are 3 drives in the PC. Two are for Windows and one for linux.

I’m still slow on this. To me, your output here is the same for sdc1 from /dev/sdc5 32 gig? - #3 by FlamingDuck , so I get that partition.
But the size for sdc5 in your older post seems to be closest to the size for sdc2 in your most recent post.
That confused me for a minute there. The earlier post is from the original install. The HD in that case is the same one but at the time it was showing as 228 G with 32 G used, with almost nothing installed except some apps. After trying some of the suggestions without success I bought the Pro version of Zorin and after a clean install is looks like it went from SDC5 to SDC2. There's nothing on this drive so I wasn't concerned about a clean install. I'm curious if Zorin can solve this problem, which is why I bought the Pro version.
I'm using the same 250 G Samsung drive for all installs. The other drives are Windows. Right now the drive is at 228G with 66G used. Again that's just with a few apps installed.

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.
Thanks. I tried that one on the original install. It didn't help at all.
So when I can into the /var folder the lib folder in there has 17+ gig, log has 40.5 gig. Found this going on in the syslog.1
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_GPE._L6F.PGRT], AE_NOT_FOUND (20201113/psargs-330)
ACPI Error: Aborting method _GPE._L6F due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20201113/psparse-529)
As well as a couple other lines. No idea what it means.
You might try using the grub parameter "noacpi" and see if that reduces the log buildup...
I'm going to wait until I hear back from Zorin Support. See if they can fix this.

Any idea when they're "back in the office"? Curious to see if I can get my issue resolved.
I moved your post here. Starting a new thread will only confuse people since they won't know which issue you're referring to.

I was confused by "wait until I hear back from Zorin Support" as your forum profile says you have Core which does not include that entitlement.
Please edit your forum profile to indicate "Pro" instead of "Core".
Note there are just two Zorin devs, so reply to your support request may take some time. I believe 3 Jan is a public holiday in Ireland.
If you are in a hurry, you may be better off continuing to receive online support from the community here on the forum.

@FlamingDuck In my experience you can get answear about a month from support. Here you get faster answear. Here also people have a good experience. Mostly the answears on forum are the same what on support.
Done.
