i am on garuda xfce , i updated garuda and then after reboot the system would freeze with black screen so i put live usb and chroot into the system , whatever i try to do it says there is not enough space on my ssd but my ssd have almost 40 gb free , ofcurse i ran $ gdu to analyze the ssd disk and see whats eating the storage or causing problems , and when i ran $ gdu using root , there appear to be a .snapshot folder thats somehow 500 gb - my ssd is 128gb ! - and i have never ever even think about using snapshot never the less creating one , this folder poped out of nowhere , initially if i try to do anything on the terminal pacman doesnât work, it keep saying that the disk is full it wouldnât even delete anything , but i was able to delete a VM i had on the ssd , now that i have some space pacman worked and i immeadiatley removed this snapper tool thing.
but here is the problem , i canât install anything with pacman just remove and somehow i canât delete this .snapshot folder using root or changing the permission to 777 or chown to user , whatever i try
it keeps give an error saying its a [ read-only filesystem ]
rm: cannot remove (X) : Read-only file system
chown: changing ownership of â451/snapshot/**etcâ: Read-only file system
Describe your issue in detail. The more we know, the better we can help

After rebooting, post the FULL output of garuda-inxi in the body of the post (not linked externally, or collapsed with the âhide detailsâ feature)
Format terminal output (including your garuda-inxi) as a code block by clicking the preformatted text button (</>) , or put three tildes (~) above and below the text
I donât really understand your logic here. Why did you even attempt to delete files that you didnât know what purpose they served without even trying to find some information about them online? If Iâm not completely mistaken youâd have successfully wiped your entire root partition clean if that rm command had succeeded, because the latest snapshot always represents the current state of the machine.
If it doesnât boot, then you should ask your dear friend, the internet.
In your post you havenât made clear what âfreeze with black screenâ is supposed to mean. Does the system print out anything on screen to the screen? Does it stay on? Does it just reboot?
Just as @SGS suggested, you should post your garuda-inxi. It contains integral information for us to assist you, especially in the case of an unbootable system. Since youâre able to chroot into your system, run the command there and paste the output here, as the post template suggests.
