havnt noticed this on normal updates but now i cant autoremove old packages.
From what i can see the message is saying out of disk space but

Code:

makes me think its something else.
I dont want to attempt the upgrade as the machine isnt easily accessable and is running currently on

ok, so the errors occur while you tried to update to the current PVE 7. That's fine, but then your topic is a little bit misleading.

so far I can't see any no-subscription repo. To be sure, please also post the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list.

can you also post a screenshot of the webGUI "Updates" -> "Repositories"?

Ok, here it is, the no-subscription repo. I think you can remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, because it's not needed. Does not solve your problem, but make things clearer. Does apt update show something unusual?

It's the 512MB ESP partitions (that are usually not mounted) that are full. Can you uninstall (apt remove pve-kernel-... or apt autoremove) some older kernels to make room?

@james9911 you can use "proxmox-boot-tool kernel list" to list those that PVE would like to put onto the ESP - everything else can normally be removed.

The above mentioned script by tteck makes life really easy, it will make available to you, in a selectable-list format, only those kernels that are currently unused. Just choose some of the oldest ones, and you should be able to clean up a lot of ESP real estate.
