I have 20 GB of unknown stuff in /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects, I hope this is not normal…

How can I free it up?

@tommi Did you try the solution described here https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3542#issuecomment-610774373 ?
From what I'm reading online, seems to be an issue with flatpak not cleaning up its folders correctly.

@tommi did you manage to get done with them??
I remember finding also a bunch of flapak somewhere on my computer, but I deleted them all because I was not using Flatpacks at the moment and I really needed the space, hahahah
However, I remember I found some commands online that cleared some of these files before I got really angry and deleted them all 😆 Maybe you could do with that! (I don't really remember the commands 😅 but they appeared on the first search result)

@ander_dapo I don’t have major storage problems, but 20GB is a lot… I don’t want and don’t have time to fix potential issues caused by manually deleting stuff without knowing what I am doing, so I will hold off for now

@tommi I'm not familiar with the inner workings of Flatpak. Maybe these links can help?

How To Remove Unused Flatpak Runtimes To Free Up Disk Space

Flatpak doesn't automatically remove a runtime after the last application that depended on it was uninstalled. This may be an issue for some users because these runtimes can take a lot of disk space.
