I have just run dnf update on my template vm but its complaining about a lack of disk space (870 MB). I increased the private storage max size via the Qube settings but I'm still getting the same error.

Check in the template using df -h to identify the shortage.
It's not likely that / is short of space unless you have installed a
large amount of packages and not cleaned up afterwards.
If this is the case you can increase size of System storage from Qube
Manager.

It's possible that you need to increase the amount of /dev/shm - if so,
change size in /etc/fstab and 'mount -o remount /dev/shm'. This doesn't
seem likely to me.

From your post to qubes-issues I suspect you are short of space on the
USB drive.
