Almost no free space, but the disk must be empty

The fdisk -l otuput:

Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 238.47 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Disk model: KBG40ZNS256G TOSHIBA MEMORY             
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 9C2AD130-8B7B-4F65-B540-B5EBD8944452

Device           Start       End   Sectors   Size Type

/dev/nvme0n1p2 1955840 500117503 498161664 237.5G Linux filesystem

The df -h output:

tmpfs           1.6G   76K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000

What can it be, I have arch installed on two more machines, but never faced that problem? It's pretty much fresh btw

UPDATE:
Forgot to mention, ncdu i used as well, still pointless tho

Better, even: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ncdu/

Re: Almost no free space, but the disk must be empty

Mount your root partition into, e.g. /mnt and run du (or ncdu) against that mount point. If this is a btrfs partition then mount the top level subvolume.

My guess is you either have old data hidden under /home, or a btrfs subvol that isn't exposed is taking up space.

Re: Almost no free space, but the disk must be empty

Well it was docker who took 162 gb of space!

sudo docker system df
TYPE            TOTAL     ACTIVE    SIZE      RECLAIMABLE
Images          0         0         0B        0B
Containers      0         0         0B        0B
Local Volumes   24        0         1.284GB   1.284GB (100%)

Re: Almost no free space, but the disk must be empty

ncdu says ~25G
df says ~218G
fishy.

googling gave me this:

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...
