A few months ago, I rolled back to a previous btrfs snapshot using Snapper. Now I am constantly running out of space, no matter how many packages I delete and I’m wondering if that is the reason. The snapshot list looks like this:

$ sudo snapper -c root list
    # | Type   | Pre # | Date                             | User | Cleanup | Description            | Userdata
------+--------+-------+----------------------------------+------+---------+------------------------+---------
   0  | single |       |                                  | root |         | current                |         
1137+ | single |       | Thu 31 Aug 2023 07:55:47 PM CEST | root |         | writable copy of #1115 |         

Does snapshot 1137 contain all the changes made since August? I so, can I somehow delete it?

EDIT Changed “snapshot 0” to “snapshot 1137”

According to the docs, running snapper rollback should set the right snapshot as the default.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
