I just installed arch linux last week and after installing some programs Im getting an error that says my file system root has low disk space. I have 5.4gb /boot 1.1gb swap 7.9gb /root and the rest, 486gb, for /home
I did the pacman -Sc command to try to free up some space but, it didn't free up much
also, when I go to my root folder and go to properties it says I have 128tb of stuff

Help please

128TB is obviously bull excrement.
What's the output of
df -h

And a bit offtopic, but 5GB for /boot?! As you can see, you've only used 24MB, and even if you have multiple kernels it's unlikely to be more that 100MB, so you can gain a good bit of space there.

some people like to waste disk space.. only 28.5M used with 2 kernels:
/dev/sda1 ext2 96.8M 28.5M 68.3M 31% /boot

so, shrinking my /boot and extending my /root would be a good idea?
also, I tried most of what you all have suggested and I now have 1.7gb of free space but, it's still saying I have 128tb of stuff. should I just pay no attention to it or is there any other way to fix that?
edit: I used ncdu and got this http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/9909 … hamsod.png on my root folder
and http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/9909 … hamsod.png on my home folder

Ignore your file manager, I suspect it records that because it can't access all the files. df -h is accurate. Launching your file manager as root (be careful) should also work
edit: you could shrink part of home (say 8-12gb depending on how often you delete stuff) and stick /var on the new partition (editing fstab accordingly)
