<p>I'm running minikube (version: v1.10.1) with Helm 3 in a local system with ubuntu-16.04 and docker version 19.03.8. Currently, I'm getting a &quot;no space left&quot; issue even when the local disk has more than enough space.</p>
<p>How can I increase the space? This is the POD describe details:</p>

<p>You need to check the available space on the Minikube Virtual Machine, not in your host OS.</p>
<p>You can access the Minikube VM with <code>minikube ssh</code>, then check both space and inodes availability (respectively <code>df -h</code> and <code>df -i</code>). Generally, the cause of lack of space is due to many docker images in the local repository.</p>
<p>Possible fixes are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove <a href="https://docs.docker.com/config/pruning/#prune-images" rel="noreferrer">unused docker images</a> (<code>docker image prune -a</code>)</li>
<li>Increase the disk size on your Virtual Box configuration and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/54187396/7641078">resize</a> the Linux partition (this can be painful to do and may cause a lot of trouble...)</li>
<li>Start a new minikube VM with increased disk size (e.g., <code>minikube start --disk-size 50000mb</code>)</li>
</ul>
