You can try `./launcher cleanup` but I don’t understand why it would help. It will delete old and unused containers and images, that will eat up all the space at some point AFAIK, but yours is new one. But it doesn’t cost anything to try.

To be on safe side don’t stop your now-in-use container, because then it will be saved — if it is started after your rebuilding try.
