So not even a "system powering off" when you shut it down... I'm thinking you probably have a full OS partition on top of the full C volume.
Do you have any experience with the Linux command line interface?

years and years ago when i was a kid i played around a bit. old age has wiped most of that knowledge though. is there a way to safely delete some space? front lcd is showing 89G free which sounds about right.

You can't clean up from the OS partition unless you use the linux CLI. That either requires ssh to be enabled in the web ui, or use of tech support mode from the boot menu. My guess is that ssh isn't already enabled - and you shouldn't attempt to install the add-on required now. So that would leave tech support mode.
The overall process would be to log in, manually mount the OS partition, and (if it is full) search for the files that are filling it, and either truncate or delete them. If you haven't used a command line interface for a long time, then it would be much safer to use paid support. It'd be very easy to end up with a completely unbootable NAS - requiring a factory default to bring it back. That would destroy all your data.
Let me know if you want to use paid support, or take the risk of destroying your data.

what kinda cost would i be looking at for paid support?
- StephenBMay 31, 2019Guru - Experienced User
I've never needed it so I don't know for certain. I think it depends on geography, and also if data recovery is needed.
My recollection is that per-incident support is less than $100 USD. Data recovery is a lot more expensive (but wouldn't be needed if the issue is what I think it is).
