I am also thinking hard drive failure. Root file space on Zorin would be less than 5 gigs. Usually significantly less... It would take time to get that built up with installations and error logs.
I wondered if the partition was set accidentally to 5gigs instead of 50 gigs, as well.
So can you teach me how to check my hard drive. My hard drive just use for 1 years only quite new.
I had done just that... but you reinstalled.
I found a solution is I need to create partition manually by creating swap area, root and /Home and now successfully install. But my software store not working. Is it I need to update using the updater?
From terminal, you might try:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Once done, please test the software store.
If it is still not working properly, to reinstalling it:
sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-software
How to check hard drive whether have problem?
My screen freeze when I login what should I do?
Do you have the nvidia drivers installed for you 9 series card ?
I just use software update only and it takes up the whole 50GB and now my laptop stuck on black screen. What should I do? Why root file up more than 50GB and ubuntu just said need 20GB what happen?
Your the only one i know on this forum that has 50GB of files in ZorinOS. Stuck on black screen has to do with the latest kernel update probably, revert back if possible.
Can teach me how to revert kernel?
Well i am pretty new to linux as well @Aravisian can guide you with this.
@Aravisian, i think he got the same issue as some other users if he did a kernel upgrade.
If I get freeze after typing password what is the problem?
Honestly... Matrex, I believe you should reinstall Zorin OS. Something has clearly gone wrong.
If you have a 50 gig space reserved for Root and it is filled; This should not happen. That combined with other issues suggests a corrupted or broken download.
I would go right back to the beginning:
Download Zorin OS:
https://zorin.com/os/download/16/core/
Check the 256SHA
Burn to your USB using either Rufus, Balena Etcher or Unetbootin.
Then boot into the USB and install.

So, the first time, you set the Root Partition at 50gigs and it nearly filled it... You reinstalled and set the Root directory to 100gigs and it filled 90 gigs of it?

Definitely sounds like things are being installed that shouldn't be. Even logging every boot and application running shouldn't take more than a few hundred megabytes after a six month run.... and it's designed to reuse log files after a certain amount of time. It's like the installation is creating multiple copies of everything to fill the drive.

Yeah, this one makes no sense to me. At all. I have never even heard of this happening before.
