You can resize the volume groups to better fit your needs, as well. I've followed this guide successfully on my Xperia X after bringing it into recovery mode.

A generic guide how to enlarge the LVM "root" volume is provided as section 3.3 Increasing the "root" LVM volume size of the Guide: Installing Sailfish X on Xperias.

It covers ...

all Sony Xperias: X, XA2 and 10 (all models of each)
devices with an unencrypted or encrypted "home" volume, both
also older (pre-Xperia) devices (with only 16 GiB of eMMC FLASH memory, e.g. Jolla C, Intex Aquafish; but not the Jolla 1, as it does not use LVM), when adapting (i.e., recalculating / lowering) the size the "root" volume is initially shrunk to.
