On my backend my boot device and "/" directory is a 16GB Flash drive. I
did something stupid and filled up the drive.  So after deleting the
file I moved to the wrong place I'm back to the normal free space.

But it brings up a question.  Does mythbackend use temporary disk space
somewhere on "/" that I need to redirect to one of my 2TB hard drives?
I have tons of free disk space just not on "/"

My first guess is all the /var/lib/mythtv/* files to see which grow
large over time.  Obviously, Default and LiveTV are on the separate hard
drives.

~/.mythtv/cache/
Is the first one that comes to mind for me. I have seen previous reports of
it causing disk space issues on this list.

If this system never ran mythfrontend, would ~/.mythtv/cache/ be a problem?

No.

You should mount /tmp and /var/tmp elsewhere as they on occasion can
get filled up by any process and on /var are more risky directories
like for instance /var/log

I think i have moved most of my /var/lib/mythtv directory usage to other drives via the Storage Directories setup in mythtv-setup.  But I was thinking about for short term fixes if I could just use Clonezilla to copy everything on my 16GB boot Flash drive to a 64GB flash drive.  Would it really be that easy??
