 Running Out of Disk Space Using Persistence With Mint

Thanks for the quick reply and help. The answer to your question, in a word, is "yes". Here's some more detail. I have ignored the "low disk space" warning from Lint (like they would magically go away!) until this past weekend. At that time, I had about 100M disk space available. I thought I could not be the first person with this problem, so I searched the Ventoy website, Ventoy Forums, and the Internet for help. That's when I read about the "ExtendPersisentImg.sh" script. I invoked the program and used an argument to extend the persistent file by 8GB. That seemed to work. I cannot seem to mount the USB device if I am running Mint, so I pulled out my USB device and rebooted into Windows 11.I plugged back in the USB device, and the Windows File Explorer said my persistence (i.e. persistence_ext4_4GB_casper-rw.dat) file is 12,484,608 KB. Seems correct to me. I rebooted again into Ventoy with Mint, thinking my problems were solved. That didn't last very long, as I quickly got another "Low Disk Space" warning from Mint. As I type this reply, I currently have 12M free on "/" (but I have not invoked Thunderbird (my email Client) at this time to save disk space). I did try to boot into Ventoy/Mint without persistence, and I have no disk space problems (for now). Any ideas/suggestions on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

I suspect you are very busy administering Ventoy, so (again) I appreciate the quick response and help. Ventoy is great - thanks for providing it.
