Unable to remove files in /dev/sdb/ephemeral - 100% full

General

Here’s what we’ve definitively established:

  1. The Disk is Full: Your /ephemeral drive is at 100% capacity.

  2. The Cause is Clear: Large, read-only Android emulator files are consuming all the space.

  3. The Block is Environmental: We do not have permission to delete these large, protected files. (read only files)

  4. No Other Options: We have now confirmed there are no other large, user-writable files that we can remove to free up space.

This means the problem is entirely at the development environment level, not within your project’s code.

I strongly recommend that you seek support for the specific development platform you are using. They will be able to reset the environment or clear the disk, which will resolve this issue permanently.

If you haven’t done so, will you file a request for your workspace here to get yourself unblocked? Get help with Firebase Studio

Yeah I already submitted a ticket as well. Was hoping someone would have a solution while I waited.
