Bug Description
#My fix - Solution: booted with root prompt: rm -r /home/username/
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, 480 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, i7 8 core CPU ...
I installed nautilus-wipe and restarted PC.
When opened Nautilus and right-clicked and choose "Wipe availible discspace" the software filled my SSD by creating a filesystem in /home/myusernam
My PC very soon started to malfunction and I tried to stop Wipe by clicking abort, but it did not work and after some time I restarted PC.
PC did not boot normally, trying to clean disc, but after starting in advanced mode with root prompt I could remove the 142 GB data in the ~/tmp.SOMERA... folder.
With free space availible the PC booted normally.
My history log from root session that solved the issue for me:
...
# df -lh
# du -sh /*
# du -sh /home/*
# du -sh /home/username/*
# rm -r /home/username/
# du -sh /*
# df -lh
# reboot
