Good evening. I'll try to make this as short as possible while also being as detailed as possible. Today, I was transferring some files to my Ubuntu VM instance when everything froze. After a bunch of restarts, I noticed that ProxMox had a yellow warning symbol on the VM instance that said "io-error", and the instance itself was unresponsive.

I did Google around for a bit, and I found out that the reason for this was because the storage was full. After checking, I can indeed confirm that although I set the storage of the VM to be 196 GiB, the local-lvm had a capacity of 147 GB, and now it is full.

I would have deleted the entire VM and started over, but I have a Minecraft server that was running on it with no backups saved on this PC, so deleting everything isn't much of an option. Ideally, I'd love to be able to access the storage of the VM and delete some unnecessary files, but I can't just simply do that (unless I missed something).

Any and all help is appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and support, it is truly appreciated.
