It doesn't matter what's in that directory so much as it matters how
much space that filesystem has.

$ df /var/lib/libvirt/images

Yup. What libvirt is saying is that the _filesystem_ it wants to create the disk image on has less than 22528MB (22.5GB) free space and it needs more than that to create the disk image.

Generally the most space used on /var is in /var/log, and on modern systems, /var/log/journal in particular (which, by default, is allowed to eat up to 10% of the filesystem space).

Another candidate is /var/cache--especially /var/cache/system-upgrade if you did a system upgrade to get from a previous Fedora to the current one. If you have done that and your system works, then just delete /var/cache/system-upgrade via "sudo rm -rf /var/cache/system-upgrade"
.

I finally got back to this. The error message was right, I had run out of disk space on that 250g drive. I had another in the computer that I was able to erase and create a partition on which Virtual Machine Manager was able to install Centos-7. I gave it 30g and have a lot of room left for Fedora-24 alpha when it comes along.

Thanks,

Bob
