     -  Maybe you ran a miner with the same machine as your node, where it could use up valuable disk as well.
So I advise you to check the settings and miner's configuration, try to look the other way to move another
data in another location.

It's not "maybe" since FutureBit devices is intended for both mining and running full node. And OS provided by the company already include software to do both.

Moreover, another key to solving your problem is to use a disk clean-up utility, why? due to the unnecessary files will
automatically be removed, like system logs, and those files that are no longer needed. But of course, this could
only be done using the command "Sudo apt-get autoremove".

sudo apt-get autoremove only remove unused package (such as older linux kernel), it doesn't remove other unnecessary file. And obviously apt-get isn't the only tool you could use to do that.

The default data directory location is in your user account's home directory, which is presumably on the low storage device. You can change it to use a different location, presumably one on the high storage device by adding -datadir= to your startup command where is the path to the directory that you want Bitcoin Core's data to be stored.

I've had an extremely rocky start - and was due to WiFi Router completely failing in stages, which did not allow me to properly reach Apollo Full Package via Ethernet remote setup.

Thus multiple Hard Reboots, in coordination with your Twitter DM Support.

Now finally directly logged in, had to ask friends to get me an HDMI cable and extra keyboard (hey, I only need Laptops, thus no HDMI monitors etc. ...)

Was able to set up all details, BUT: WARNING Message:
"Low Disk Space. This computer has only 98.3 MK disk space remaining."

CPU usage: currently 0 because Node and Miner switched off.
Memory Usage: 2.72GB/ 3.77GB
Disk/ Usage: 13.88GB/ 14.05GB
DISK/ VAR/ LOG usage: 4.53MK/ 48.4MK
Disk/ Media/ NVME usage 2.12GB/ 915.82GB

Only a couple thousand transactions were synchronized on Node.
I have done a FORMAT NODE NVME SSD, but that did not help at all.

How do I get space, or is that the SD card that remains static?

First time Setup instructions did not detail that one would get an "Insufficient Disk Space" message...

Thank you!
