Maybe two options...

For any unprivileged user, find the bundled apps that are unused, uninstall updates, clear their storage, then disable them.

There is also a more thorough debloat method that does not require root. It seems to be in a state of flux as it is rewritten in Rust.

Can adb show true android disk space usage without a rooted device? Either the Android system or some app is consuming half of my storage but I have no idea what or where it is. The missing storage doesn't even show up in the disk usage view and total app storage used is tiny by comparison.

I am on the latest LineageOS, and "df -h" does give me a lot of information, along with a reasonable figure for the device size under /storage/emulated.

I am using a ConnectBot local session to see this.

When I run this as root, the output of df is different, but it is not immediately obvious why.

If you can see the subdirectories, "du -sm *" will recurse and report usage by directory.
