Root disk nearly full (82%)...
Looked though all the other posts on this common issue but can not find anything I can safely delete. Details are: root@NETGEAR-NAS:~# du -hsx /* | sort -rh 2.1G /var 559M /apps 426M /usr 169...
I think at some point I renamed data to data2. So data2 is my main volume and data is a root mounted directory.
Only app I have installed is iDrive backup software.
I looked at the contents of the mysql database and is a database called:
Syslog
And has one massive table called:
SystemEvents
That is the full 1gig. Seems to have every event since 2016! And is still being populated.
I will just truncate that table - as will fix issue for a few years.
But would be good to know what is pushing data into it?
There is a chance that I installed other apps a while ago that I have since uninstalled.
Thanks

If so, something likely didn't uninstall correctly.

The most likely cause is the old LogAnalyzer app - likely not uninstalled correctly. You could try to track that down by looking in apt-history in the log zip file.
As I mentioned, using soft links will let you move the folders onto the data volume. That will protect the OS volume from filling (which can corrupt your configuration files).
