  • I want to thank everyone for the help!

    I was finally able to find the issue. Thanks to @slappy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 's question regarding my filesystem type, I decided to look into it.

    I use btrfs, and this command showed me, that I have a lot of snapshots made by apt.

    $ sudo btrfs subvolume list -s /         
    ...
    ID 318 gen 2617038 cgen 2566262 top level 5 otime 2024-02-13 06:59:10 path @apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-jammy-2024-02-13_06:59:10
    

    It was probably possible to determine how much space each of them was occupying, but I decided to simply delete them all and be done with the issue. So I installed apt-btrfs-snapshot and run delete-older-than 0d.

    As a result, I now have 29 Gb and no backups, which is fine with me.

    This answer on askubuntu was useful






  • Running sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove was the first thing I tried.

    I am not sure, how do I interpret output of apt-cache stats?
