Hello Everyone, I am running node-red on a raspberry pi and I am getting this error while trying to deploy a flow.
"enospc: no space left on device, copyfile '/home/pi/.node-red/flows.json' -\> '/home/pi/.node-red/.flows.json.backup'"}
I am guessing some temporary files have filled it up but I am unable to resolve the issue.
typing df -h into the console brings back:
pi@tunnel:~ $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 12G 12G 0 100% /
devtmpfs 776M 0 776M 0% /dev
tmpfs 937M 0 937M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 937M 8.6M 928M 1% /run

tmpfs 188M 0 188M 0% /run/user/1000
tmpfs 188M 0 188M 0% /run/user/109
This looks like /dev/root is full but I am unsure how to proceed. Can anyone help?

You need a bigger SD card or need to clean off a lot of what you have on your existing one.
Start by shutting down the Pi, remove the SD card and make a backup of it on a different computer. There are lots of websites telling you how to copy your SD card to a new one.
If you can make a network connection to the Pi, I would copy the /home/pi/.node-red folder to an external device. that way you will

You have 12GB of room on the partition, which means you have used a vast amount up somehow. Start by doing
`sudo apt autoremove`
`sudo apt clean`
which might give you some space to get started.
Then try
`sudo ncdu /`
which, if it is already installed, will take quite a time scanning the card and then will tell you where all the space is. If it says ncdu is not installed, then if the commands above released a couple of hundred k then you should be able to install it and then run it
`sudo apt install ncdu`
Once you know where all the space is used up you can delete it.
Make sure you have anything important backed up first though.
