[ale] mint 13 vm running out of storage space

[Jim Kinney]

I would try run the android emulator native on the hardware. Emulator in a
VM sounds painfully slow unless hardware is pretty beefy.
That said, I would create a new VM and start over with better size disks
and do manual partitioning. It would be faster that resizing a drive and
file system.
