I'm trying to free up space on my root drive on my ubuntu system.
One thing that is consuming about 12G is multipass. I want to move it to the more spacious /home directory.
So I followed the instructions here and created the new directory /home/multipass.
However, I do multipass list and no instances are found. How do I get back my instances? Are there things I should be looking for in the journal that show why it's not working?
EDIT: requested details of what I have done:
root@homebuild:/var/snap/multipass# mkdir /home/multipass
root@homebuild:/var/snap/multipass# snap stop multipass
2023-10-11T13:55:54-04:00 INFO Waiting for "snap.multipass.multipassd.service" to stop.

Not sure what else needs to be done? I think these are all the instructions in the link.
