How can I delete all names with the file extension
*.ISO
and
*.img
from
“Dom0 Terminal”
in the
“VM10”?
qvm-run -p VM10 "find / -type f \( -iname '*.iso' -o -iname '*.img' \) -exec ls {} +"
qvm-run -p VM10 “find / -type f ( -iname ‘.iso’ -o -iname ‘.img’ ) -exec ls {} +”
bash: *.iso: Command not found.
bash: *.img: Command not found.
VM10: Cannot create new thin volume, free space in thin pool qubes/poolhd0 reached threshold.
poolhd0
data has 92.7 %
metadata has 78.3 %
How can you delete 3.7 % here?
or
How can I empty the *.tmp memory here?
Or
clear the cache?
If possible, I don’t want to delete this VM!
Try `qvm-run -u root -p VM10 'find -iname *i.iso -exec rm {} ;
So VM10 is not running?
You can attach the drive to another qube and work on it there.
Look here
You can get some space by deleting old versions of the private storage-
by default there will be 2 which can take up much space.
Look in /dev/qubes and judicially remove some of the “private-XXX-back”
volumes. Be careful of what you do.
I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.

How can I delete all files like *.iso and *.img from Dom0, also in all subfolders?
Run this in the qube
find /home/ -type f -name '*.iso' -delete -or -type f -name '*.img' -delete
Be sure to escape properly when using qvm-run in dom0.
How can I delete all files such as *.iso and *.img from Dom0 in VM_1, including all subfolders?
Unfortunately, VM_1 can no longer be opened!
Can’t you delete the whole qube? The data would be totally cleaned.
See this thread about the cleaning mechanism How does LVM provide erased storage?
How can I change the hard disk from 90% to 93%?
Did you read my previous post?
You can attach the private drive to another qube and work on it there,
using the methods you have already been given.
You can also clear space by deleting backup images, and that would allow
you to open VM_1, but this isn’t necessary.
If you are unclear what needs to be done, ask that - but there’s no
value in simply repeating questions to which you have already been given
answers.

I’m still missing the context of how I can delete the backup images from Dom0 in VM_1!
There are no backup files in “/etc/lvm/backup”.
- What do I have to enter in my computer to find the backup images?
- Which command can I use in Dom0 to delete the backup images?
(I cannot open VM_1)
(VM_1 is also on my 2nd internal hard disk and it is not a USB stick)
You did not read, or try to follow, my post:
The back up images are in dom0. Look in /dev/qubes_dom0 to locate the
links to the block devices in /dev. If you have a large qube,BIG_ONE,
then ls-l vm-BIG_ONE-private*back should show you the links and the
block devices.
Take the earliest device (look at time stamp in name) and delete the
block device (/dev/dm-XXX), and the link.
If you have many large qubes do this for a number. That should reclaim
sufficient space for you to get running. Only do this for *back devices
and be careful in what you do.

As I read and understand the whole thing at the moment, this problem also applies to me.
I have a TemplateVM that is also very large and I can’t get any further. I don’t want to delete it either.
Question: Which of these files would I have to delete so that I can reopen this 3TB without losing any files?
I have this 3TB in the storage pool poolhd0_qubes.

I’m afraid I cant see that image, and so cant help you.
Please list the files in text(redact the actual name of the qube if you
will).
