[SOLVED] too many unsuccessful flatpak updates lingered in this directory. It sorted itself out after rebooting the system.

var capacity 11.1 GiB, var usage 10.6 GiB

You can use baobab or ncdu to try to figure out what's filling it up.

    I installed baobab 48.0.2 with sudo apt.

    should I install ncdu 2.9.1 with uniget install ncdu? the apt version is older than that

    You do you, but I think it's rarely worth it having the absolutely newest version of something. The Debian version of a package may be older, but often has the advantage of being well-tested. And the Debian version of ncdu is all I've ever used and it has worked well.

    uniget, huh? That's not a package manager I've ever heard of before.
