Hey everyone! I'm trying to free up space on my SSD, which is only 256GB. I realized that around 25GB is taken up by Flatpaks. I figured out a way to move them to my second SSD by copying the folder, deleting the original, and creating a symbolic link to the new location. Great, it seems to work because I can open all the applications. However, while tools like Filelight and Dolphin show that the space has cleared, for some reason, the Dolphin storage graph and system monitor still show my drive as nearly full, and it's actually even showing more usage than before! I'm a bit baffled here. Any advice would be super helpful!

It sounds like your issue might stem from the filesystem type; if you're using BTRFS, that could be the reason for the continued space usage. BTRFS keeps snapshots, and they can take up quite a bit of space, so you would need to delete those snapshots to actually reclaim the space. Let me know if you need further details about how to manage those!
