  What error message did rm give you?

    Something about no space available on disc I don’t know I haven’t seen that in months I was bored I was going through my notes and I found that one liner

      I believe you that you got a “no space left on device” error, but I think you are misremembering it being a result of a simple rm command – if you really did get that error from rm, then it’s an indication of something much more seriously wrong than a full disc (filesystem corruption or bug).

      Citations (first two results from a google search for “can’t rm because no space left on disc”):

      Citation 1 (BTRFS specifically can get into that situation, which represented an argument for never using BTRFS in production)

      Citation 2 (Happened because of a corrupted filesystem)
