Mint is great but I have to fix my screwups.

My cheap laptop has a 128GB SSD. I have 30GB available .

I installed Mint on Sunday on a 15GB partition then realized I was immediately out of room.

Now I believe I have reformat, repartition to maybe 25GB and reinstall. Any better options?

Also, I could probably reformat the entire laptop if I could only figure out how to replace the Google Drive for sync backup for roughly 15 GB of personal photos and videos.

Technically, I wouldn’t have to do anything as it is already backed up but I guess I’d need a way to copy everything over to a Linux alternative that can be backed up from Mint.

Thoughts?

    You won’t go very far with 25 GB, especially with backups enabled. Get a new drive or delete other stuff you have on it.

      I have been deleting stuff for a long time. It is Windows plus very basic apps at this stage. It is a cheap laptop so I don’t want to replace the drive.
