      @zdenek sounds more like a defective sd-card if the Pi won’t start at all.

          could check if there is a file named core inside of your MagicMirror folder. Snille had an issue which created this huge file:

            @yawns nope :-( actually, there is about 40 MB and it starts. So, Raspberry is running. I huess 8GB should be enough. Or not? How to find biggets file and delete?

              try to run this on console:
              find -type f -exec du -Sh {} + | sort -rh | head -n 5

              This should bring up the 5 biggest files

                thanks, but it didn’t find any abnormal larg file

                43M	./MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron
                37M	./.electron/electron-v1.4.15-linux-arm.zip
                15M	./MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/libnode.so
                14M	./MagicMirror/node_modules/clarinet/test/twitter.js
                14M	./MagicMirror/node_modules/clarinet/samples/twitter.json
                

                so, could be there a milions of small (let say 1MB) files/logs? I’ve no problem to buy bigger SD, but if there asi any problem with growing files, even 1TB SD card will be one day full…

                  Are you really sure your sd card is full?
                  Please run df -h to check for disk space (maybe you need to run sudo df -h, not sure)

                    I guess the last 2GB is recovery or smthg like that
