Hi Balena.

I’m developing a project in development/local mode. It has been working good for some time, but now when I do:

```
sudo balena push <local_address> -s .

```

I get the error “no space left on device”. How do I clean up space on the device, and in the future how do I prevent this from happening?

Hi,

What version of the OS are you using?

hi @spanceac, I ended up flashing a new SD card. I’m 99% sure the version was the newest.
