37% used is no problem.

Don't sweat it until you're at 80-90%.

Good. Thanks! It just seemed to spring up overnight-like.

Don't forget to check for .trash in your drives and make sure to reboot. Open files can take up space as well they stick around till you reboot or restart the service.

I am learning fdupes right now - I also know I have some big .iso files that I have transferred to my ventoy so they can go.
