Hi, my first time using Clonezilla on Linux Mint. Unfortunately I chose wrong settings and managed to fill the partition I was copying to an image. This resulted in disk full error. Now when I login to Mint the disk shows as full. There does not appear to be a file created by Clonezilla for me to delete to recover the space?
Any suggestions on how to reclaim the space?
Thanks

This depends on the partition you have mounted, and under that image repository, you should be able to find a dir which contains a file called "clonezilla-img", you can delete that dir.
In the command line prompt, you can use command like:
find / -name "clonezilla-img" -print
it should list the path to that file, although it might take a lot of time.

No uck, I've tried using "find" and looked for large files as well without success.
Even "Disk Usage Analyser" does not show that my space is used. It almost looks like the file allocation table has allocated the space as used but there is no file present?

Clonezilla just saves the image as a directory which contains a lot of files, they are like:
https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image
It must be somehwere, since I can not access your disk, you can only find that by yourself.
