Problem with the system after running conda

I have conda 24.9.2. I am running an Ubuntu 24.04 machine.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble
The directory which stores the conda project is causing problems. I can’t run basic system utilities like “ls” , “dir” on this particular directory. Htop doesn’t work either. “Pstree -p” shows many many python processes.

Even worst, I ran “strace” with ls, it shows the following and hangs:

fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0
getdents64(3,

It hangs on getdents64(3,

How can I proceed? I don’t want to reboot.

@amirspeaksmore,

Do you think maybe your disk is full? Systems can do some pretty weird things when there is no longer any disk space available.
