Thanks for your information.

No; no experience with Linux shell commands. Are there any instructions or information sources I can use as a guide if I wanted to try that route?

Thanks again.

There is no guide, and generally I don't recommend folks with no linux experience to attempt it. Paid support is a better path if you want to preserve your data, the factory reset is better if you don't care about that.

Basically you need to manually mount the OS partition, and, sort out where the space is going (the OS partition usually is ~20% full, not over 80%). Then you have to clean out files that don't belong there.

  Your root volume is filled by a 2.5GB ReadyTiVo folder.
  
  Is you TiVo archive library on your NAS huge?

    It is probable that it is. It is ok to delete it if that might help solve the problem.
    
    How can I avoid it being at Root?
