How do you clear the persistent storage for a notebook instance on AWS SageMaker?

Question

So I'm running into the following error on AWS SageMaker when trying to save:

Unexpected error while saving file: untitled.ipynb [Errno 28] No space left on device

If I remove my notebook, create a new identical one and run it, everything works fine. However, I'm suspecting the Jupyter checkpoint takes up too much space if I save the notebook while it's running and therefore I'm running out of space. Sadly, getting more storage is not an option for me, so I'm wondering if there's any command I can use to clear the storage before running my notebook?

More specifically, clearing the persistent storage in the beginning and at the end of the training process.

I have googled like a maniac but there is no suggestion aside from "just increase the amount of storage bro" and that's why I'm asking the question here.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't want your data to be persistent across multiple notebook runs, just store them in /tmp which is not persistent. You have at least 10GB. More details here.
