I could not do it anymore. I've tried my best cleaning up, organizing, backing up stuff and tried empty up some space, but it was too much. I clean, I get a TB or two, and then after 2-3 days, it is full again. New stuff keeps coming out and I keep looking at my hard drives and I try to control myself, but then there are files that may not be available for long and I get frustrated.

So I gave up. Went through my torrent client and deleted a bunch of full discs and remuxes (kept a list for when hdd will become affordable again). Managed to clean up almost 7TB and started downloading some stuff. It was so difficult to delete them, but once done, I feel a lot better.

Is it as difficult for you too? I'm dealing with 102TB of linux isos 😭😭
