After the upgrade I find myself with several gigabytes less available in the already scarce home partition. Any safe advice to remove installation junk without risking to cause harm?

Happened to me too. For me the upgrade through gui failed (kept downloading over and over again), so I upgraded through terminal. Now the home partition has gone from ca. 6 GB to 1,4 GB.

GUI and terminal failed for me (it was known later that it was a Store issue), then I made the final update via GUI and it worked.

The same happened to me. I got a "No more storage" toast warning, and what a surprise to see in Storage that the "User data" partition had 0 B available O_o (compared to at least 3GB before upgrading). Here is what my .cache/tracker dir was looking like before clearing it through Utilities:

[nemo@Sailfish tracker]$ du -sh *
4.0K    db-locale.txt
4.0K    db-version.txt
14M     meta.db
7.2M    meta.db-shm
3.6G    meta.db-wal
352K    ontologies.gvdb
0       parser-sha1.txt

Solved by clearing tracker cache via Sailfish Utilities. Weird thing, I wonder if somebody else experienced it and if it was really due to the installation process.

Had this earlier (cannot rememebr whether JollaC or XA2) and resetting tracker helped

How did you do that? please a description for dummies... ;-)

@Raymaen Install Sailfish Utilities from Jolla Store. It will provide a new option in settings, use that to find the relevant option.
