A bit disturbing that 60 seconds isn't enough, though. It's a reasonably modern system. Intel Core i3 (Haswell generation) with 16GB RAM, and not overloaded.

After I already trimmed / in dom0 as I mentioned (and it reported about 5GB freed), I ran sudo fstrim -av per your suggestion, and it reported 0 bytes trimmed. On further investigation, I discovered that /var/log/xen/xenstored-trace.log in dom0 was 155GB. So I did sudo truncate /var/log/xen/xenstored-trace.log --size 0 Then again sudo fstrim -av, and this time for / it reported 80.7GiB trimmed. (I don't know why not all 155GB trimmed.) But qvm-pool -vi lvm still reports 99% HD usage (468GB used out of 473GB size for pool00)! The HD is 500GB, so trimming 80.7GiB should have freed 17%.

[qubes-users] Deleting app VMs in Qubes 4.0 doesn't free up disk space
My hard disk was 95% full, as shown by usage/size in the output of qvm-pool -i lvm. So I decided to delete some old unneeded app qubes, each taking a few hundred MB or a few GB of space. Before deleting each one, I started it to check the contents, to verify there was nothing I needed to save. HD usage crept up a little, then a little more after I killed the qube. But surprisingly, HD usage crept up a little more after I deleted the qube, instead of decreasing! I guessed it was a fluke, so I did the same with the next qube. The same thing happened! Then again with the third and fourth qubes. At this point, my HD is 99% full. I ran fstrim / in dom0, and it reported about 5GB freed, but HD is still 99% full. I'm starting to panic, since I know Linux fails badly when an LVM pool that's over-committed with thin volumes (as Qubes 4.0 is designed) fills up. I know the qubes were deleted successfully, since lvs | grep no longer shows them. No running qubes are writing any significant data to disk. Now that I'm not deleting any more qubes, HD usage is holding steady at 99%. Why isn't my HD usage decreasing when I delete qubes? How can I free up some space?

[qubes-users] Help! qvm-start-gui won't restart properly, so my qube windows are invisible
A qube window that I was using in full-screen mode died and somehow locked up the gui in dom0 (totally unresponsive to keyboard & mouse input, except that the mouse still moved the pointer), and I had to switch to a text console (ctl-alt-F2) and kill xfce to force it to log out and reset the gui. That worked, but when I logged back in, all of my qube windows (and all the dom0 windows I had open, including some terminal emulators) momentarily flashed on screen one at a time in rapid succession, then disappeared. Alt-tab doesn't show them. I can, however, start new dom0 windows, e.g. terminal emulator, qube manager, etc, and they work properly. xl list shows all my running qubes are still running, and I can access them using xl console, then within them I can use xlsclients and see that everything is still running. But if I try to create a new window, e.g. by running xterm, nothing appears. https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3147 for an unrelated issue has instructions to fix invisible windows: kill qvm-start-gui process and start it again: qvm-start-gui --all --watch & But when I do that, all my windows just flash momentarily again, and disappear, same as happened when I logged back in. Using Qubes 4.0 final release, fully updated. Please help! How can I get my windows back?
